In 1994, with a symbolic single crown in his pocket, he set out on a journey through southern Europe, during which, after several weeks of wandering, he arrived at the yet popular mythical oasis of Palmyra in the middle of the Syrian desert. In 1998 he worked as a sailor on the ancient double-masted sailboat Pulcinella.

During his time in Prague, he produced many documentaries, short films and artistically tuned clips, which are largely devoted to fashion and design. He made presentations on fashion designers and stylists such as Jakub Polanka or Zofie Angelic. In 2005-07, he shot promo videos for Shooting Fashion Stars by Sony at the Prague Designblok, especially in 2006 when he directed the entire shooting unit, as well as the biggest Slovak fashion event Fashion Live! in 2014 and 2017.
