About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Keep on skiing, sailing, surfing and last but not least living all over the World till the time comes to settle down. One day, maybe...

ABOUT ME

an honest person willing to take part in almost anything - sport activities, cultural events (exhibitions, music or especially theatre performances), and of course a bit of travelling as well. I love both company as well as solitude, I love mornings as well as evenings, enjoy summer as much as winter. I love meeting new people so we can talk or just be silent. I have a lot to offer, or at least I wish so, and eager to learn even more from you, that'a fact.

PHILOSOPHY

Patience. Learning to "always look on the bright side of life".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

had some great experience while travelling in the US, Greece, Australia, Taiwan and especilly Morocco; did a bit of hosting as well. Now chasing winter back to back - currently heading to NZ from Canada.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Sometimes better, sometimes worse, but always positive. And of course, the more you put in, the greater the risk, the higher the reward (or disappointment) - nothing new, really.

Music, Movies, and Books

thought provoking - The Crimson Petal and the White, both in the original (as an audio book) and the Czech translation (from my friend and coworker); listening to whatever my friends recommend, check out e.g. Alt-J or Hooverphonic; and movies - well, let's say Atonement, Juno, and Czech film Pelíšky, to name just a few

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ask my friends (and I hope for the best).

Teach, Learn, Share

Love to share my passion for sailing and skiing.
Yoga helps me stay healthy and injury free - knock knock on the wood.
Finished studying translation and interpreting.
Exchange of good (simple and tasty) recipes always appreciated.
