About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find IT job on NZ!

ABOUT ME

I'm a friendly and tolerant person who is open and willing to meet new people.
I'm a vegetarian and although I don't believe in God I respect others' beliefs as long as they don't involve sacrificing a couch surfer :)

More about me:
I was born in a small city (almost a village), but when I was 3 years old we moved to a bigger city called Olomouc, where I lived until my high school graduation. Even now I go back to see my family every second weekend.

After high school I attended university in Ostrava, which is an industrial city 100 km north of Olomouc. I graduated in 2007.

A few days after my final exams I started to work at an international IT company as a programmer. My job wasn't exactly what I studied for, but still I enjoyed it.

However, one thing i didn't really like was that even though I was working for an international company, i didn't have many opportunities to work abroad. So, after 3 years of sitting in the same office I have decided to travel independently and not wait for my job to send me somewhere. So I have quit my job and now I'm packed and ready to explore the world :-)

PHILOSOPHY

Live my own life. Sounds simple but it's not that easy to achieve. It takes a lot of thinking of what I like what I don't like, what I would like to do in the future etc.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm really new in this community. I didn't know that something like this exists, but I'm amazed about this idea. So far I participated only with small donation. I'm homeless traveler right now, so I can't offer a couch yet but I definitely will when I'm back from my travels! Beside the donation i participate by telling everyone about this great idea.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None so far.

Interests

I have high interest in dance and martial arts. And if you put dance and martial art together you get Capoeira - Brazilian martial art. And that's what i do already for 3 years.

Dance has a lot in common with music and that's my another interest. I like to listen music and like to make it - singing or playing on instruments.

I'm a vegetarian so I'm interested in any vegetarian cuisine.

I can possibly teach you basic tricks in Capoeira and something about IT and computers.
