Honza Siska

Hey,

my name is Jan Siska, but everyone calls me Honza. In Czechia, that’s completely normal — Honza is the informal, friendly version of Jan, much like Sasha is used instead of Alexander in Eastern European cultures.

I was born in the historic university city of Olomouc, where I also studied geoinformatics. Since childhood, I’ve been drawn to adventure and exploring the world — preferably on two wheels or on foot. Sports have always been a part of my life: I played hockey, floorball, golf, and cycled. In everything I do, I look for meaning, quality, and long-term value. I constantly work on myself, push my limits, and follow simple values: order, honesty, and fairness.

My Goals

I’ve always been driven by goals — both the huge, lifelong ones and the small milestones along the way. Without them, I lose motivation and direction. Achieving them, step by step, gives me purpose and keeps me moving forward.

My three biggest travel goals are simple to say. I want to visit every country in the world including their capitals, set foot on all seven continents, and circle the planet entirely by land and sea, crossing the equator twice along the way.

Olomouc – My Hometown

Beyond that, I have plenty of smaller but still wild ambitions.

One day, I plan to cycle from Prudhoe Bay in Alaska all the way south to Ushuaia at the southern tip of Argentina — and become the first Czech to complete that route. I dream of driving around the African continent in my own expedition SUV.

I want to hitchhike and take public transport from Olomouc all the way to Papua New Guinea, by land and sea, and if possible, continue to Australia. Another plan is to sail from the north coast of South America through the Lesser and Greater Antilles, all the way to Florida.

Last but not least, I wish to climb the highest peak in every European country or ride motorcycle across all Australia.

These dreams keep me motivated — they remind me how vast the world is and how much there’s still to explore. And that’s just the start. I’ve got many more personal goals — travel-related and not — which I’ll share later once they’re ready.
