About Me

ABOUT ME

Young person trying to figure out how to live :) Trying to enjoy time spent on this earth and visit different countries in the world. I'm trying to complete my studies on university (Computer science with specialization in computer linguistics) while earning some money programming security solution for small (but growing :) company in Prague.

PHILOSOPHY

Thinking is important. You can't change outer world but you can change the way you think and perceive things. And this can make the world better place to be on.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new to this project so I didn't have cahnce to participate yet but I think I can provide some accomodation or at least accompany visitors, show them some interesting places...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had some "unofficial" couch-surfing experiences in India - Himachal Pradesh when we were accommodated and fed by some local people. It was very beautiful. To sit with them in dirty kitchens crying with smoke getting of the fireplace, eating very spicy foods and trying to talk with simplified-english about many subjects.

Music, Movies, and Books

music is the most important thing for me and I'm especially interested in all kinds of modern jazz and fusion. I like complicated music.

Books - there are hundreds of books I like, choosing few favourite authors: Bohumil Hrabal, Jachym Topol (very interesting czech authors), Heindrich Böll, Mario Vargas Llosa, J.M.Coetzee and many many more.

Films - I like films from Lars Von Trier (Who is the director, ...), Stanley Kubrick (Clockwork orange).

Sitcoms: Red Dwarf, Black Books, IT Crowd

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Trekking in Himalaya. Bungee jumping. Esbjorn Svensson Trio show. Solo hitch-hiking trip to Netherlands. Ice and rock climbing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can offer speaking and sad or funny stories from the past. I can speak a little bit about music I like. About things I've seen. I really like playing bass but I don't know if I should or can learn anyone that (depends on time mostly).

Countries I’ve Visited

Chile, India, Iran, Japan, Netherlands, Pakistan, Portugal, Sweden, Taiwan

Countries I’ve Lived In

Ireland, United States
