About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Always be passionate about what I do.

ABOUT ME

I enjoyvast majority of what I do - and do what I enjoy :). I do market research and retail consultancy for a living and I do love the intellectual challenge it is and sharing with fantastic people around. I do travel whenever I can. That's the passion I share with my wife Magda, - my love and wonderful partner. I like trying new things and find a lot of joy in it. I have two incredible kids and they don't allow me to be idle as well... Boredom? Nothing I could define.

Life is too short not to enjoy or at least value each and every experience.
So I do.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Waiting to meet new people, host them, maybe get hosted one day.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A couple of surfers in my place, spent a good time together. Met extraordinary, fascinating and friendly people during our travels. Got invited to a wedding party in Croatia, had my car repaired in Norway... And much more.

Interests

Travels - getting to know places, people and... what they cook and eat (cuisine's as important as sights :D)! Photography. Video games. Board games. Movies. Good music - across many genres.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: G.R.R. Martin's Game of Thrones and all following, Frank Herbert's Dune, ancient and medieval history and historical fiction, contemporary fiction...
Music - rock, to start with - but also jazz, chill-out, ethnic, sometimes classical... And movies - A LOT of movies. Science fiction fan - 2001, Blade Runner, Inception, The Martian.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Crazy one? Crossing a motorway in Germany on foot with a huge and heavy backpack on my shoulders (probably shouldn't boast about it)... Joining other surfers in funny olympics, including racing in wellingtons full of custard and cheering fo our snail to beat the others in snails, race... Playing bridge at 1 am with sun shining at Nordkapp. Life is fun.

Teach, Learn, Share

I absoletely love sharing stories and any advice I can give. I am an Excel freak - and believe me I do find it fun - so if you need any advice or help with your spreadsheets or macros - shout :). Cooking would be another sharing area - I can do something for you - and gladly learn something from you and your region!
