Hi, I’m Adam Marčan born on 12. 12. 1987 in Beskydy, Czech Republic
currently living in Pilsen (from May 2019)

Comfort zone is quite relative Leaving it means for everyone something else, for me it's this

• Decision not to attend an university and start working as a webdesigner at the age of 19, although I excelled at high school and everybody around me said to me I was crazy, that a university degree is a necessity nowadays.
• Then after 3 years I left well paid job and started freelance work. Leaving security and trying world of freedom and responsibility.
• 18 day hitch-hiking trip with my friend Aleš in Southern France and Italy. 15 kilos on my back, 15-20 km of walking everyday, uncertainty of where we would sleep (somewhere outside) and which city we end up in every evening. I will never forget these awesome days.
• Fasting for 10 days every spring time – no food and electronic devices, just water, books and nature.
• Jumping into cold moutain river everyday for 2 months, even it was only 15 degrees and foggy.
• More than 200 days sleeping in hostel dormitory rooms – it means to sleep with 6-18 people in one room.
• Gave away my iPhone and started to be more present.
• Went alone for 5 months to SE Asia, full of worries, after that trip it became my comfort zone and my life is easier there then in Europe.
• Stop washing my hair with shampoo in 2014, just using water now.
• Stop occasionally smoking and stop lying to myself that it is just for a good feeling.
• 6 weeks of just drinking „food“ via straw, because my teeth were wired after my face injury. I had just 64 kilos, that’s not a lot for a man with height of 188 cm.
• Shaking hands with a guy who almost killed me and saying sorry to him, because I know I provoked him.
• Speaking in front of 700+ people in National theatre of Slovakia at TEDxBratislava.
• Asking people in streets if I can take a photo of them.
• Driving a motorbike for 3 hours in the night in Thai mountains (in the middle of nowhere) for a hippie Japanese music festival. When I arrived there I felt like now I can drive anywhere I want!
• Decision to walk from Balinese airport to Canggu for 3,5 hours with a full backpack, no sidewalks, crazy drivers, you won't understand this, if you don’t try :D
• Stop watching porn from October 2015. Why? :) Watch this and this.
• A cold shower a day keeps the doctor away. It may seems easy but sometimes this is the hardest one :)

You cannot fail by trying something you are afraid of. You will always get a new experience which you can learn from. Do not regret on your deathbed that you haven't try something you had a joyfear about.
