A vendor of Slovakian street paper, Notabene, Vlada has been selling it since the beginning. Raised at an orphanage, he said, “I have never experienced love of parents.” Though he was working at a factory, its laid-off made him jobless and homeless at the same time.
Having gone through trials on the street, such as some attacks by youngsters, the life as a rough-sleeper never brought him a peaceful moment.
The happiest moment in his life was the encounter with Notabe, he said. Though I asked,"What was the hardest moment during working," he answered, "Nothing hard. The Previous life was much more harsh."
Living at a garden cottage with his friends, currently, Vlada seems really enjoying the precious friendships build here in Notabene community. “I don’t have any dreams now, but I just want to live to the fullest,” Vlada said.
