About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Around the World in 80 Days

ABOUT ME

I don't think I'm the right person to describe and self evaluate myself. I will leave this up to you.

PHILOSOPHY

Most of my philosophy is expressed in the song Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen) from Baz Luhrmann.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I meet different CS people when travelling. Trying to attend regular CS meetings. When someone interested I offer my couch.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Met several very nice CS people on my journeys. I also hosted some CS people in Brno and participated in several CS meetings which were really great.

Interests

I like hiking in the mountains, cycling, swimming, running, travelling, feasting :), meeting new people and generally all different outdoor activities.
