About Me

I was born and raised in Warsaw, Poland. Travelling is an essential part of my life, so that's what I do. I study politics and IR and I always warmly welcome discussions about history. I also play on the bass guitar and produce mainly (but not only) techno music.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The aim is just to explore.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- I've visited all of the former Soviet Union republics in Europe apart from Moldova
- I've been to all former republics of Yugoslavia (including Kosovo just after the declaration of independence)
- although I had the gig on the very next day in Seoul, my luggage (with all power supplies for my instruments) was lost by the airline in Amsterdam (always be careful with your changes at Schiphol Airport)
