I am an open-minded, friendly, 27-year-old guy from the Czech Republic (Morava). What to say about myself... I like adventures, and I often put myself out of my comfort zone. I seek knowledge about (almost everything)

I currently live in Ulaanbaatar (I am an expat though not local), and I will be able to host you here in the Mongolian capital. Please read the MY HOME section if you want to stay! I am a very active member I will see your request mostly within an hour and reply fast. Please pay attention to my profile and make your request a bit personal.

For example, I was hitchhiking to Sweden, France, and Iceland (and more). I studied development at the University of Palacký (CZ) from September 2016 to the summer of 2020. I am still working on my Masters.
I spent a year in Georgia working for the European Solidarity Corps from 2020 to 2021
Now, I started working in Ulaanbaatar, unfortunately, I can not share details of what I do.

My hobbies are history, politics, debates, water sports (canoes/kayaks), and 🍺 (well, I was born in CZ, what did you expect), computers, and music.

I have a beer can collection here in Ulaanbaatar, if you want to bring something bring a can of beer (preferably full :D )

There is one game that I am a big fan of named Factorio (made by WUBE), the best game for engineers, and players of logistical or similar strategies.

I am a cryptocurrency fan, and I am interested in decentralized applications, tokens, and more.

My long-term goal is to hitchhike from Europe to Australia. And become even better at it. My other plan is to open a development educational centre.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people with interesting stories, hobbies, mentality and opinions. I can share too, so we can talk about it.
I am an active (not recently) low-cost traveller (not a tourist as I often avoid most tourist places or experience them differently than people who paid for them).
From time to time I need a place where to sleep most of the time. But I really want to spend time with my hosts as much as possible, and I have the best experiences with CS. CS is the best idea for culture sharing and for travellers to meet.

You can also get some advice from local people. It is more powerful than tourist info!
Even if you can not host me you can recommend me something. Or help me with your advice.

Interests

Not necessary to read, feel free to skip this.

I played the drums (I have drums in Ulaanbaatar) for some years but now I travel more.
I also played on didgeridoo (an aborigine's original instrument from Australia) for almost 20 years, not a master, but I have one here in UB.
I like movies/serials/documents, history, geography(obviously), politics, international relations and diplomacy and lots of science, nowadays mostly social science but not exclusively.

I am not so much to sport but I am a good hiker. My strongest sport is swimming, but thanks to my allergy only sea/ocean and natural water in general (no pools for me usually).

I like motorbikes, especially the old ones. My father has a Jawa 250 and it is awesome to go somewhere with it. For example Slovakia. It needs some repairs so I was not riding it for a couple of years.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A list of things I have done! (Not necessary to read, feel free to skip).

I like challenges. Once I drove (on 46 years old motorbike, Jawa 250 Panelka) more than 150 km to a cinema in a different country just to see a film. Also that same day back home!!
Film: Trabants through continents (Australia version)

I travel with a few friends (sometimes alone) in Nord Europe and West Europe (3 trips in total), with a minimum amount of money. Someday I hope to travel around the world with almost nothing. Just me and the journey
And busking everywhere.

I collect unusual places for sleeping. This is the list I have so far.:
In the British Second World War cemetery, under 2. W.W Tank. In a construction site, in a cave(Calanque), in a small garden house in front of (something like IKEA), on a beach, on the border checkpoint for trucks(Austrian/German), in a storage of sport equipment, in city park, on a field, under the bridge, next to highway, in a smoke area shelter for workers behind some Peguot dealership

I will try to complete the list later. When I will have more stories (Yes I know it is only one amazing thing, but whatever 😂😂)

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to improve my Russian(currently practising) and Spanish/French(currently not practising so much).
I can tell you anything about my hometown (Zlín - the hometown of Bata the shoe brand, and Czech history and culture.)
If you are interested I can show you how to play on didgeridoo. But it is hard, trust me.
We can talk about anything. I like to stay informed in many fields, like environment science, politics, anthropology, computers, and all science basically.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A roof over your head. TV to watch. Kitchen to cook in, maybe even some food from the fridge. I am still in the process of getting the apartment equipped. (new pan, and other kitchen equipment already purchased)

The washing machine already works (powder is sometimes in limited supply). Shower is also not a problem.

There is a guest room with a bed. If a couple wants to come I can give them master bedroom.

If you got all the way here, read my home section as well (button read more under accepting guests).

I have WIFI!
