About Me

Languages are my passion - I've got my own language school (very atypical though) :-) We're a group of very demanding language freaks and aficionados! :-)

Communication skills, various sports, MUSIC and psychology are my greatest passions.

Easygoing, open-minded, spontaneous, talkative. Good listener, 1000 ideas per minute. I read, exercise daily, and play the electric guitar and chess. Come and meet me/use my white couch in the living room! I will show you the best places to see and dine at in Cracow :-)

MY PHILOSOPHY

Love people and be of service to others. Work and study the things you love, hard having wild fin along the way. Make your work valuable. Help others. And don't forget to really enjoy your life and make it memorable :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Let me be be laconic: I simply love people.

Interests

I'm interested in interpersonal communication, yoga, strength training, nutrition, psychology, public speaking, and learning foreign languages. I read a lot. And I like to ask questions :) I like talking, discussing, swimming, running and heavy workouts.

I also play the guitar and chess.

Since I'm a CS guy, it's obvious that I love to travel :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies

Johnny Got His Gun, Jacob's Ladder, Casablanca, The Bucket List ( I've got my own)

Books

It would be quite a long list :) Erich Fromm, Carl Jung, Malcom Gladwell, Seth Godin, Agata Christie, Nassim Taleb...

Music

I listen to all I find interesting... From prog-rock, through some classics, to Michael Jackson. Also some latin stuff... I dance Salsa Cubana :-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've helped +800 people (so far, this number keeps increasing) learn to speak English and other languages with confidence. Effectively. I do it usually 3-4 faster than a traditional language school.

50 years old? 60 years old? No problem, I help mature people as well and I have a solid track record :-)

Teach, Learn, Share

I CAN TEACH YOU HOW TO:

1) learn B2 German from scratch in 5 months (did it!)
2) teach you some yoga - I'm a yoga instructor in spe :-)
3) how to cook mouth-watering, scrummy Polish and Indian food!
4) how to learn to play the guitar fast
5) implement healthy nutrition hacks easily, I'm big on health
6) about the best places to see, do and eat in Cracow and in Poland
7) learn languages 5X faster than in a traditional language school
8) master American English pronunciation

Which option are you gonna pick? ;-)
