CURRENT MISSION

Becoming the change I want to see in the world (...projection in practice :)) )

ABOUT ME

Hard to channel the day to day life's diversity into those few lines. Having always been curious "how things work", what's the dynamics behind the mysteries of our everyday lives, it led me to study information science and then psychology, now looking towards studying cognitive (neuro)science and psychotherapy (preferably in connection). I also loved to socialize and party, with the beer being an inseparable friend (beer is actually really cheaper than water here in Czech Republic), together with all the different crazy adventures, but there was this moment, when my body said "Not any more" and for 6 months, I hadn't touched a glass of alcohol - going through sort of a transformative period in my life - started practicing mindfulness meditation spontaneously (after writing a thesis about it), limiting my procrastination (after writing a thesis about it too :) ), exploring the healthy nutrition etc. I have also loved to practice (mixed) martial arts, but have a two years long pause now. I played guitar in a small local band called Absurd Error occassionaly (genre: shitrock).

Edit: One year in, I am back to having some drinks occassionally :P

PHILOSOPHY

[One random of the quotes that resonate with me]

"After sleeping through a hundred million centuries we have finally opened our eyes on a sumptuous planet, sparkling with colour, bountiful with life. Within decades we must close our eyes again. Isn't it a noble, an enlightened way of spending our brief time in the sun, to work at understanding the universe and how we have come to wake up in it? This is how I answer when I am asked -- as I am surprisingly often -- why I bother to get up in the mornings. To put it the other way round, isn't it sad to go to your grave without ever wondering why you were born? Who, with such a thought, would not spring from bed, eager to resume discovering the world and rejoicing to be a part of it?"

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just joined the CS.org site, but during last years, my home has been a place for many couchsurfers - mostly my friends from different cities in CZ, but lately also from all over the Europe, mainly from the EFPSA (european psychology student's association). Now looking forwards to take it up a notch.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Traveled quite a lot, was hosted by and hosted a lot of great people.
