A Czech boy living for most of his life in the Czech Republic, where he also currently studies Film editing (at FAMU) and used to study English language and Anglo-American literature. He admires all forms of art and can be described as a friendly daydreamer who likes talking to other people and finds inspiration in each one of them. Oh, and he's also very fond of tea. (It's always tea-time.)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy both surfing and hosting.

Interests

Music equals a huge part of my life. I regularly attend concerts, I used take concert pictures and write articles for a local magazine, I also arrange shows myself, I play guitar and "play with" (rather than actually play) piano, xylophone, and other euphonical toys.
