I am just an ordinary man who likes to hike, ride a bicycle, read a book or watch a good film. Interested in computers and I also work as a programmer and sysadmin. I like to use English (as a second language), so I am looking for pen pals and (hope in the future) friends to improve my language skills.
Requests
I am looking for an English speaker (native or who learned English as a second, third or fourth language) willing to talk about computers, open-source software, Linux, travelling, books, films, current affairs, our lives, and not only that. I hope we might become friends in the long (or shorter) run.
I am looking for anybody to communicate with. I would like to talk about computers, technology, books, films, culture, your and my life events, languages, current affairs, or just about nothing :-).
I prefer exchange of longer messages here on Interpals, as just "Hi" or "Hi, how are you" does not say much about the person.
As I am happily married, I am not interested in romance, love, serious relationships, etc.
I won't send money to anyone, pay for your presents or invest in anything.
Language Exchange Requests
Looking for anybody to exchange e-mails or messages with. I would like to use my English, so it does not become rusty. Learning bits of German would be nice, as I got stuck with that language.
Hobbies & Interests
Computers, Linux, open-source, books, movies, cycling, walking, hiking, travelling, English language, pet rats, teddy bears, good sleep, a good meal, tea.
I don't listen to music too much. If I am in a good mood, then some classics or Czech singer Nohavica or Ivan Mládek or Pokáč or Uhlíř are quite nice.
