About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Survive my children, enjoying life, passionate about my job

ABOUT ME

I'm a dad of four.
I'm a hobby runner, I like hiking and train capoeira.
I'm an IT guy.

I live in Brno, enjoying parenting of my four children. In spare time, if there is sometimes any, I go for a run (my wife do orienteering so time to time you can meet me even at some race). I have been training capoeira for two years now and go for a hiking trips with my family around Czech Republic.

I'm a curious person trying to understand how the things work. A bit introvert, happier in a smaller group of friendly people than at some party night. I like broadening my horizons.

As of my job I work in for a crypto-native friendly company as a developer. I like open source development. Sometimes I post at https://twitter.com/_chalda.

PHILOSOPHY

Be kind and helpful.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I learnt about CS from a friend Marcela several years ago. That was at time I stayed at an internship in Cordoba, Spain. She was talking about awesome experiences with CS. I liked her talking and I wanted to try it. I was trying but at the time I haven't found any couch succesfuly.
After a time I went for an internship to Brazil. I travelled with my wife a bit around the country and eventually we enjoyed great couches there. We met nice people and got more in-depth brazilian experience.
After then we hosted a few people but when children came we haven't much space to keep it going. But I believe we will do next tries in the future.

Interests

raising my kids is my current main free time activity, then running and capoeira, computers and programming. I'm a fan of hiking. I like to read about history (especially ancient greek), understanding contexts of worldwide affairs...
