About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Simply: to see the world, starting with Europe. I want to meet new people, hike new trails, eat and drink new foods, and find a place in the world.

ABOUT ME

(Coming soon)

PHILOSOPHY

I know that life is about the journey, not the destination. However, sometimes I feel like I'm still looking around for the right road to walk along..

..this doesn't bother me as much as it used to only a year or so ago :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet..!

Interests

- I love medieval history and material culture; point me in the direction of your castles, old city walls, museums..

- Martial arts, particularly in historical European context. I currently study medieval longsword (and related combat arts), based on the writings of Johannes Liechtenauer (14th C.) and his students.

Music, Movies, and Books

While living in Prague, I had been reading mainly Czech authors (e.g. Kundera, Čapek, Hašek, Hrabal), interspersed with some Tolkien.

I'm a fan of Classical music and heavy metal, but my collection is pretty varied. Unfortunately, my iPod broke a while ago..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've performed in Carnegie Hall, in New York City.
