About Me

I work as Affiliate Specialist (you may never hear about it before) but more than marketing I prefer my second profession - I used to be an actor and screenplayer in amatour theatre Kolektyw Twórczy Pawlacz (in English it sounds really strange but I'll try - Creative Collective Locker). I played and wrote screeplays for our spectacles like "I am so I doubt" or "Generation Everything", „Dragontown”. Now I focus on writing books, on 2023 I published my debut „The one who does not exist” (Ten, którego nie ma).

I love meeting new people, talking and walking around to discover a places I cannot find in any guide book. I like laying on the beach and climbing a mountain, drinking some beer in the evening or coffee in the afternoon. But firstly, I need a good company to learn from them and teach them something. That's the way the world is turning, we still learn from each other. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I decided to start something new because I used to stay hotels when I was travelling. But now I realized that I need some new perspective to live the new places in a different way - with local people who can show me what the city or country is really about.

Interests

As I mentioned above, I love theatre, books, art and all the stuff around it.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like different kinds of music but there is one band that I've loved since the first hearing - Iron Maiden. I saw them live over 20 times and I hope to have much more opportunities. Except Maiden, I like other hard rock/heavy metal bands: Saxon, Black Sabbath, Rainbow, Megadeth, Helloween, Slayer, Twisted Sister, Judas Priest, Queen, Deep Purple. But there a lot of artis from outside the "hard rock world I really like listening: Nick Cave, PJ Harvey, David Bowie, Bjork, Leonard Cohen, Serge Gainsbourg, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Fleetwood Mac, Michel Polnareff, Bob Dylan, Patti Smith, Iggy Pop.

My favourite movies: Dancing in the Darkness, Dogville, The Shining, Dr. Strangelove, Festen, Les Miserables, The Dreamers, The Silence of the Lambs, Eyes Wide Shut, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, A Clockwork Orange.

Favourite writers: William Faulkner, Thomas Bernhard, Charles Baudelaire, Bolesław Leśmian, James Joyce, Thomas Mann, Virginia Woolf, Sylvia Plath, William Blake, Rafal Wojaczek, Kurt Vonnegut.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Me and my firends from theatre performed on stage before over 200 people on the audience. We performed the play I had written and we got standing ovations, so it was an amazing expirience.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach you a little bit of Polish and cook for you some Polish dishes (but not pierogi, sorry!)

If you like, we can do some performances or... just go singing karaoke :D
