  • Description

    Hello there!

    I am an open-minded Czech guy who will celebrate his 28th birthday this summer. I graduated from Journalism and Media Studies and spent the past year working in public relations in Prague. Before that, I spent three years living abroad: over two years in the Netherlands, half a year in New Zealand, and a few months in Germany. During those three years, I worked in restaurants, cafés, bars, geothermal parks and didn't shy away from any job. I gained a lot of useful skills and knowledge, learned new languages, and got to know new cultures. To name some: making pizzas from scratch or brewing specialty coffee and doing latte art.

    I already put emphasis on open-mindedness, which I value a lot. I am also quite social and extraverted; meeting new people and getting to know their stories, views, and values, and just overall widening my field of view, is one of the things that makes life worth it for me! I love traveling and trying out new things, be it jobs, food, music, movies... you name it. And I try to keep a positive mental attitude along the way, even though it can get a bit difficult sometimes with family and friends away while traveling.

    During my free time, I like to write, play the guitar, spend time in nature, and catch sun. I also like wandering cities and taking photos, calling with friends from abroad and talking about anything, or watching movies or sports matches. Last but not least, I used to play and coach basketball and would love to get back to it, but that will come later in life, I guess.

    Workwise, I don't shy away from pretty much anything. I get excited about and get energy from doing something that helps others, be it physical work, cleaning, taking care of plants, land, or people... if it's going to make someone's life easier, I'm on it! And also, I forgot to mention, I'm two meters tall, so whatever you need from that top shelf, I've got you! :D

    If you still have any question, ask away, I will gladly answer anything you need to know! :)

  • More details about your skills

    Since I graduated from journalism and have experience working with people, I am talkative and very social. So, taking leadership and being in charge is no problem for me, but I can also be on the other side and follow orders and respect authority. Because of my basketball background, interacting with children is natural. Also because I have a child's soul deep within myself. I am an overall sporty person, so most physical activities are not a problem for me. I have experience as a waiter, kitchen helper, pizzaiolo, and barista, but I also worked as a PR assistant and a reporter. Finally, I try to be eco-, earth-, and animal-friendly, and if the job I do goes hand in hand with that, I'll work twice as hard. :)

    28

  • What else ...

    I am trying to be as earth-friendly and generally respectful of life as possible. I'm a vegetarian, but I respect anyone's decision. I like playing board games and enjoy calm, meaningful conversation over parties and loud music. I'm also interested in pretty much anything you tell me; I'm sort of like a sponge and just soak in all the information. So, if you want someone to listen to your stories, you found the right person! :)
