My partners and what I can offer you

When I travel, I focus on people (see how other culture lives, staying at locals with Couchsurfing, visiting local festivals) and mountains (when I see a mountain, I like to hike there). Last years almost all my focus was on hiking. My travels are improvised and without a fixed schedule. If I like some place, I stay longer. If i don’t like it, I go somewhere else. If someone recommends me where it is worth to go, I go there. So I am not searching for partners or sponsors, who would like to see fixed schedule, which day where I will be. I like the freedom. I am sure you understand if you have travelled for a longer period. If you like my idea of travelling, and you would like to support me financially, materially or offer me free stay or free tour for propagation, please contact me.

I would like to give thanks to my outdoor gear supporters. I am an ambassador for Nórska móda (you can see me in merino from Devold and Bergans everywhere) since 2016. I have an ultralight equipment thanks to Outdoorline online store. For my trip in Alaska I got bear bag from Ursack, quilt from Katabatic gear and bag from Gossamer Gear.

Past cooperations in Slovakia and Czech republic: Scandinavia was my first supporter, thanks to whom I cooperate with Nórska móda. Other cooperations: Kofola, Eyerim, Acer, Majošport, Black Hill Outdoor, Adventure Menu, Mungo Hero

Cooperations abroad: AyurYoga ashram in India, Magic Tour Colombia, Comuna 13 Tours, Paramo Trek, Fin del Mundo Extremo,  YayAventura, Guaviare Geotours

My travel books were supported by Embassy of Indonesia in Slovakia (publication about Indonesia and Papua New Guinea) and Embassy of the USA in Slovakia (publication about Pacific Crest Trail).

I can offer you:

  • photos and articles from my travels
  • mention you in presentation (I am the founder of travel festival with presentations all around Slovakia and we make 60+ events per year)
  • share you on my social media (Facebook, Instagram) and also on social media of our festival (Facebook, Instagram)
  • newsletter (9000+ subscribers) and a banner on our festival website

Some examples of sharing my gear partners on personal facebook: 29.4.2020, 3.8.2020, 24.8.2020, 1.9.2020
