About Me

CURRENT MISSION

At the moment I am looking for Czech native speakers with whom I can practice speaking in Czech. From 20 July 2014 till 1 august 2014 I am taking a Czech language summer course in Brno. I am looking for a place to stay.

ABOUT ME

A friendly, quiet, honest man who respects other people.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to be friendly and helpfull to other people, I don't judge anybody but try to listen carefully in order to be able to understand them. I am open minded, tolerant. I believe it is very important that with everything you plan to do you have to think first if it won't go at the cost of other people. Protecting nature and take responsibility for other people is important.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been often in Taizé, a ecumenical monastery in France.

Teach, Learn, Share

Nice conversations, a "listening ear". In return for your hospitality I invite you to visit Holland, you can stay in my house and I show you Leeuwarden and surroundings. I could help you learn the Dutch or Frisian language.
