I studied Sociology at the Faculty of Arts, Charles University, and International Development Studies at the Faculty of Science, Palacky University Olomouc. I enjoy discovering foreign cultures and hiking in the mountains. I have visited a number of countries with my backpack. At the age of 17, I left for the United States for a year, where I studied local High School. During my university studies, I spent three months in Pune, India, where I conducted research focused on internal migration in India. I spent one semester in Turin, Italy, and completed an internship in Bratislava, Slovakia. During the refugee crisis in 2015-2016 I volunteered for humanitarian aid in the Balkans and Greece and I described this experience in documentary prose Berkasovo.​

​

I have published a number of articles on travel and development topics, as well as short stories and columns for the magazine Nový prostor. In addition to a book about helping refugees, I have also published a collection of poems and a set of short plays titled Absurdní Dramata a Minidialogy. During my travels, I enjoy taking photographs, and for several years I have been working on a series of experimental photographs called Svět v odrazech. Samples of my literary and photographic work can be found on my website: www.dominikobruca.eu.

I have been a member of the Scout organization since I was 10. For several years I was involved in the leadership of a boy Scout troop. I am inspired by ecumenical initiatives, such as the Taizé community or an artistic group Karavana.

I am not a friend of memorizing long lists of information, I prefer analytical skills and critical thinking.

Nejsem přítelem šprtání dlouhých seznamů encyklopedických informací. ​
