Overview
About Me
***DISCLAIMER***
I live with my wife Marta (http://www.couchsurfing.org/people/marta.weronika/) and our small children (daughter Magdalena and son Hugo) in a small house in the heart of the picturesque town of Svätý Jur. The town is just next to Bratislava (15mins by train, 30mins by bus from bus station).
CURRENT MISSION
To clean the mess in my head
ABOUT ME
I am too curious to be just one-sidely focused and too lazy to be focused on anything at all. Each day I am so happy to wake up and at the same time so sad to meet me in the mirror... I am afraid of losing my privacy on the Internet, though hoping to meet new people via it. I am harmony of contrasts :).
PHILOSOPHY
I live my life because I like it. It is too interesting just to let it pass by. I believe that if the people were more honest and sincere to each other and would not do to the others what they don't want the others do to them, we could live even a more marvelous life. I believe there is something good in people.

Interests
I desperately love good music. Besides I like: riding bicycle, hitchhiking, hiking, talking, (rock/mountain)climbing, geocaching, urban-exploring, long-distance hiking, sleeping, walking alone in the streets of unknown cities, taking rest in churches/mosques etc., dancing and singing for myself, computers and there are several things that can always make me relaxed: taste of good tea, reading some book or listening to music.
I am not much into partying and meaningless drinking.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Miracles happen every day, there are so many of them. Just next time you walk down the street pay attention on the way people walk, speak, with whom, why, what you taste on your tongue when spring comes, how you get stunned when you see your friend or listen to music or see a child or an old person with wrinkles etc.
just some examples: once I rode a horse without saddlery, today I ate awful ice cream, I saw my sister yesterday, I saw a friend of mine in check shirt.
Teach, Learn, Share
What can I teach? How not to worry too much, how to handle with people in a polite way, how not to get crazy in tough situations, how to appreciate each new experience
What do I want to learn? How not to get upset too fast, how to find my limits, how to cook good food, how to live in a different way
What to share? All in between...
