About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Teach English and develop a base of contacts in Warsaw

ABOUT ME

A strange, loveable, unconventional fellow with odd interests and tastes. A wide range of knowledge in almost every topic. Great and deep taste in music. A dreamer who questions everything and finds no answers.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm trying to find answers to unanswerable questions and understand why people live their lives the way they do. I'm looking for common ground between all people. Exploring, learning, and loving.

Interests

The entire spectrum of music, from big band jazz to Japanese grindcore, but mainly electronic music. Going to underground clubs, philosophy, politics, culture, spirituality, technology, transcendentalism. I spend my time thinking about everything and nothing in particular, reading books, and dancing to music when nobody else is.
