About Me

I am journalist and copywriter from Czech Republic, working for VICE, and some other media. I am interested in adventure and people with powerful stories. Few years ago, I quit my studies at Economics University at Prague, bought camera and start traveling around Europe mostly by hitchhiking.

I also organize travel contest with my friend. It's called LowCost Race - people have to hitchhiked around Europe, complete challenges (like hitchhiked a plane, cook something with locals, help to people, bet every money in Casino Monte Carlo, organize demonstration, etc.) and spend maximum 100 euros in 10 days. We also make a TV show about the Race for czech internet television. (https://www.stream.cz/porady/low-cost-race)

Now I start to write my personal travel blog and looking for some fresh stories and experiences in USA and Mexico for upcoming 5 moths.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to make new friends around the world and share stories and inspiration together. And have fun, this is the most important thing! :D

Interests

Except writing a love to take photos. I haven't so much time for photography last year. Now I decided to focus more on taking photos. (And buy new camera, also ;))

I like to visit communities and locals. Traveling don´t mean sightseeing for me. I also want to learn how to sail and live on a small boat for some time. Last days I became pretty enthusiastic about barefoot running.
