(he/him for me, they/she for Linn)
(vaccinated)
I'm a criminologist with passion towards writing (especially criminal fiction) and also I am queer. I love collecting knowledge and random trivia about all kinds of things I can later use in writing in the least expected moment. I'm rather calm and collected person, definitely a planning type who doesn't require much care from a host. I like conversation when we catch a vibe but no pressure, I don't mind sharing silence.

I live in Gdansk with my partner Linn and our two cats. We love hiking together, travelling and adventures. We always strive for new things in every matter - from food to forms of art. We believe in equality and community and we also deeply care about our planet and try to live by the philosophy of zero/less waste and we're eating 90% vegetarian. In our free time we enjoy a good walk or hours spent on talking by a cup of speciality coffee and a piece of cake. We are also both activists - we take part in protests and we volunteer for a local social equality organisation.
Linn is learning English and we have a joint profile since they're not fluent yet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd love to explore the world by my own rules. I love meeting interesting people and getting to experience real life of a place I visit, not only the view through the glass window of a hotel room

Music, Movies, and Books

I like electro swing and pop punk but my music taste is... versatile to say the least. I like feel-good tunes and songs that make you feel like a queer-coded villain of your dreams.

Recently, I try reading fiction and non-fiction books by turns. I like urban fiction, light fantasy and mystery while also enjoying some leftist theory so I learn what I preach, cosmology and theoretical physics books or reportage about currect sociopolitical issues

In movies, I seek comfort. I rarely watch heavy, emotional cinema. My favourite movie is Pride (2014).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We bottle fed, sustained and healed our first found kitten so she could grow to be healthy, playful, cheese-stealing baby

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share knowledge about world- and storybuilding, some crime-related trivia and mafia stories from Gdansk and other places. I generally know a lot random things I can share bits of. I can also teach you some Polish.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook something nice from scratch for us to enjoy and I can take care of your pet
