About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I keep looking on things from different perspective what helps me to have a better picture but usually it takes some time...

ABOUT ME

I am open, curious of the world, eager to explore its variousity and to meet other inspiring people, I have many intersts and I guess somtimes at least there is some sense of humor (sorry, it might be black). Perhaps eastern roots - eastern soul...

PHILOSOPHY

World must be running on multiple layers, at least material and spiritual, that is why everything may have at the same time various meanings and there are some invisible connections between some issues what also may explain the construction of the universe. I look for that secret places, contemplating nature and sky, discovering hidden senses on the junction of worlds and yes, I feel fully that reality is woth of dreaming!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to travel and meet people, by participating in the initiative I can combine it even not moving from my place. I like always to meet wise and inspiring people with their interesting life paths and fresh ideas, I enjoy mostly companion of those who are ready for the journey true the surrounding universes...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

With each person it is different story and experience, each meeting and interaction changes us that we became slightly different. This kind of short meetings are always great and inspiring. It is worth to make a stop in your daily life or journey to meet people and to have a look on your surrounding from another perspective and find that you can share someting.

Interests

I occupy with energy and modern technologies however I have soul of artist, which I try to let free after and between my duties, nowadays I make mostly photography, but in some periods I created also paintings, graphics and stained glass.

I am a traveller spirit - recently less active in fact, in some way dormant - but ready for call of adventure, wildeness and nature. I enjoy mostly unobvious destinations far from crowds which often are nearby, thats why probably I prefer mountain and forest hiking or cycling in the country side.

Wherever I am I like also to discover some stories behind places and people, especially ordinary things that surround us surprisingly are full of small miseries.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - instrumental jazz & folk, some electonic music, postrock and each other which is moving my soul.

Books - I try to discover some good readings with philosophical and psychological layer, maybe you can inspire me with some recommendations.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I gues that adventures simply likes me... so there is always happening something wired around and each day brings something new. according to my travels there was some crazy stuff like:
- runnig down in from the pick about 2500m high in Romanian Retezat Mountains during the storm then hiding under the rocks and collecting rainfall water for tea...
- joining Georgian traditional supra being invited by some randomly encountered pilgrims
- taking old - stylish bike in pieces with bus from Hamburg to Warsaw and renovating it
- participating in the wonderful ukrainian traditional wedding in the country side of Carpathian mountains
- crossing Europe by hitch-hiking on different routs: from Warsaw to Barcelona, form Hamburg to Poznan and from Oradea to Bielsko-Biala.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can practice with you some photography while walking by the town - that seems to be good extension of site seeing, moreover you can have a small photosession as well. I will be happy to exchange some thoughts on history, culture and philosophy of life in general. If you are interested in art I will have also something to tell on this, you can have a look on my small gallery (I have several pieces of paintings, drawings and stained glasses inhouse).

I live in Praga quarter, heart of traditional "real" town saved from the war, poor and colorful, sometimes even a bit dangerous but on the other hand revealing its artistic character, marked by some art workshops & galeries so if you like to take a risk to have a look on the true life and step on some oryginal routs - feel to be invited to be my guest.
