About Me

Let's keep in touch, I don't have your email:I live in Prague, meet my Czech-vocab rival Krystinku.
I'm from S. Dakota (American's don't know where it is either)
I like to travel, meet people and take pictures, but
The lives that surround us are the best works of art
I try to impersonate the people who impact me most.

When friends ask me what I did last weekend, I pause ... I think and I think. I look to the corners of the room as if the answers are there and appear as if I am getting ready to tell a lie ... but for some reason I just can't remember.
So I created this video blog on YouTube/scottkoch. where my friends and family can keep tabs on me and make sure I'm not getting into too much trouble ;)

My Interests

My Interests Geotagged on Flickr Map.

Family/Friends/People & more People, Genuine Responses, International Travel, Grace, Photography & Art, Any activity in, on or around Water (frozen, liquid, hot or cold), Camping, Real Estate..

I'd like to meet:

I've always wondered what it would be like to meet my grandmother when she was 18 - 22 years old. I am curious what her dreams and aspirations were. I hear she turned a number of heads (as she still does) and I imagine she was just as selfless as she is today.
So I'd time travel back in time, jump on a train from Kansas to California and hear all the details about the thoughts and perspectives of Ruth Bauer, circa 1940.

Music:

A&R is not my gig. I would pick all the bands who would eventually become guilty pleasures ... the ones masses tend to like, buy the CD and then blame it on their friends during "ax it or trax it". and while i can memorize the patterns and inflections in someone's voice for recognition i have a hard time coming up with even 3 names when someone asks me who my favorite artists are. I've always depended on my friends and Lightning 100 to expose me to great music.

"Thirty Years in the Golden North (Eskimo Welsch)" - a book about a Czech who escaped from north Russia and lived in the Artic Regions for 30 years until he returned with an outdated passport to a country that didn't even exist any longer (the Czech region).
Given to me as a gift for my birthday and also considered to be the "Czech bible", "The Good Soldier Svejk: and His Fortunes in the World War"

Heroes:

Those who have the option to walk away but they choose not to.
