Hi! 

I’m Simon, thank you for visiting my website. I’m from the Czech Republic and I spent the last 4 years studying mechanical engineering. In 2015, exactly a year before finishing my master’s I realized that I wasn’t sure where I was going. Well, looking back, I knew this fact for quite a while, but only when this alert of “running out of time” appeared it started to scare me. I started to think, I couldn’t find in myself that enthusiasm and passion I had seen in my schoolmates, especially one who not only had huge ambitions but already was involved in working for a peak company in the field (good luck buddy). Then I tried this experiment, I imagined where I might be in 10 years with doing what I was doing and asked myself whether I liked that image or not. The answer was this: I wasn’t regretting choosing the field itself, I just didn’t yet get to the point where I dreamt big enough and had goals big enough to continue. Without those, there cannot be any desire, which usually pushes you to create plans/steps, or whatever you call it. (Having a plan is like having a map in a foreign city, even if you are not familiar with it you can reach the destination)

I wanted to get new perspectives, learn something new, become better in languages, meet new people and perhaps just take a break from that lined up life. What a better way than travelling there is, when is there going to be a better time to make some mistakes than now? Never, so I interrupted school, packed my backpack and left home to travel the world.
