Under the Diamenta Princessa magazine label, I try to stay anonymous in Internet web. Sorry for that but you can catch me up on a Skype, etc.

My real name is Bartosz Zolynski (a male, not a female as my magazine alter ego). I've found and published DP magazine with my friends many years ago. It was focused on art mostly, and we wanted to express our ideas in a form of a negation, adolescent and free state of mind.

It was a great, creative time making drawings and paintings, some exhibitions and interviews with artists worldwide. I hope these days will come back in a new form someday :). You can visit our magazine to see old issues on: www.princessa.ovh.org

For now I'm working in IT, but art is a part of me from a childhood, and I've a few drawings published in Polish magazines, and I love skateboarding, creating music (some kind of, well, mostly experimental, heh), so I'm not a boring IT guy, believe me :D. Well, and even programming has a taste of art. It's creative. That means I can't stand without create something new each day, it's addictive! And well... procrastination is a part of it :D.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a freeman, I feel I'm a citizen of the World. Everyone of us should be free, that's our right. I wish to travel through lands and through time. It' s a great experience to meet new people, participate with them and share with knowledge. Worldwide.

Music, Movies, and Books

A lot of music from 80s in any genre, mostly rock and roll, new wave, industrial, synth, ambient, noise, jazz.

Jack London as an author. He's so funny through his works.

Movies from 80s where effects were not made on computers and you can feel a play. And a few from 90s as well... Shawshank Redemption? Arizona Dreams? Buffallo 66.

And I love music videos from 80s / 90s. I remember a lot of them, old good MTV :).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hard to say as it was amazing to prepare one exhibition few years ago (more than participate in it though). As I have few clear plans, I think that amazing stuff is awaiting. I'm preparing for creating a kind of graphic novel, an short animation film and some game. In opposite order I think :).

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach computing, riding on a skateboard. I don't know...

Learn drawing, skating, some English language as well, you name it.

...and share with a good energy :). And I can help you with your website as an IT tech guy.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cooking a nice Polish cousin? With pleasure! Repairing your kitchen sink? Give me a hammer, please! Skating on a skateboard (here's an excellent skatepark in my city), going mountains, or just go out for a nice day/night city trip.
