A Fresh Start

I’m a bartender, but I don’t really drink.
I drink very little nowadays. I used to drink a lot—you know that phase in your life where you’re partying all the time? I was also a heavy smoker for 16 years, and I quit both smoking and drinking when I started doing crossfit six months ago. I still drink, of course, very occasionally, but I decided to live more healthily.

This is my standard work outfit.
I dress up more for special occasions, but I wear sneakers all the time, especially since I’m on my feet so much. My usual clothes are generally cleaner though!

What I like most about my job:
I like the creative aspect of it—being hands on with the drinks, and the skill that goes into creating them. I also like the hospitality side of my work—I enjoy the crowd, and talking to people. My tattoo is actually of my very first shaker.

In my free time:
I don’t have much free time but I try to meet up with my friends, and maybe try to find a girlfriend (laughs). I know quite a few people from Slovakia, where I’m from, but I’m still searching for friends all around. We usually go barhopping, to places where I can find a nice cocktail, but other times I just want to switch off my mind from work and take some time off.

I get my inspiration from:
Everyday life. It changes. I might see something, or read something, and then remember it for a day or two, but after awhile I forget it and move on to the next thing.
