I am a guy from Poland living in Cologne, Germany and working as landscape architect. In my spare time I learn foreign languages (which is my great hobby), do sports (gym, kick-boxing and pole dance) and I like to go out, but rather for laid-back parties than mass events (welll, with exception of Open'er Festival, Poland). I used to work and volunteer in human rights NGO's, but currently I am unfortunately too busy with my "regular job" to do this :( Yet, I still have a great interest in supporting human rights activities, learning new cultures and people, as well as in advocating for global inequality issues.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When Couchsurfing "boomed", it was obviously a way for "young me" to travel relatively "for free" and have some extra fun on side. In the course of time "fun" reason is still there, being cheap is replaced tho by thinking of sustainability (both ecological and social), especially in the times where hospitality and "real experience" is being monetized by hostels and short-term private rent.

Interests

As so is my degree and job, I am obviously interested in landscape, urbanism and landscape architecture, as well in connected subjects, namely applied arts, furniture and architecture. Years of exploring identities left me nevertheless always hungry of exploring new cultures and culture codes.
I started recently pole dance classes and this is amazing.
