About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live the life to the fullest (mindfully)!

ABOUT ME

Nature/Art/Coffee-lover
Ex-Photographer
Globetrotter
Foodie

An open-minded world citizen!

PHILOSOPHY

In your light, I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest where no-one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art.

Rumi

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To widen my horizon!

Interests

music is the essence of my life and then photography comes.
Acting and shooting short films are absolute musts.
That's to say, life without art makes no sense for me.
New cultures, tastes, colors, and faces, etc.

Music, Movies, and Books

Frida and Mar Adentro are my all-time favorites!
I admire the films of Yorgos Lanthimos and Pedro Almodóvar!

I love WoRLD music!

According to Wikipedia:

World music (also called global music or international music) is a musical category encompassing many different styles of music from around the globe, which includes many genres including some forms of Western music represented by folk music, as well as selected forms of ethnic music, indigenous music, neotraditional music, and music where more than one cultural tradition, such as ethnic music and Western popular music, intermingle.

I am a big fan of dystopian novels such 1984 and Brave New World!
George Orwell is my muse!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Playing bingo with the elderly at a nursing house in Poland!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a linguist/teacher, so I can share whatever I know with people eager to learn about (teaching) English.

I am also a good cook who loves improvising and experimenting in the kitchen.

I love delving into deep conversations about a wide range of topics ranging from spiritual to political ones!
