CURRENTLY

Combining hitchhiking, working and living in some places to get to know it in a best way. Now working as a front-end developer in Norway.

CURRENT MISSION

Do some stuff which waits for me.

ABOUT ME

I love my family and friends, being on the road, low cost traveling, photography, adventures, hitchhiking, eating, flying. So I'm the happiest when I can combine it (maybe besides eating and flying in the same time; joooker). I prefer to live and work some time in various countries to grow into and meet it genuinely (if it may be truly possible for a foreigner). I admire exploring nature spots, discovering the world, listening to inspiring stories. I like people and their stories, but need and appreciate moments of solitude a lot which means I really like being alone, for instance discovering my city on my own. That's certainly everything about me, here you are;)

PHILOSOPHY

I try to consider my dreams more as goals to achieve. And a very smart sentence which is true: the only limits in your life are those that you set yourself.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Maybe that's not amazing, but for me these moments has been very stirring: Managed to do in my life what I really love. Having great family and friends. Combining together traveling and working. Doing 1-year trip in Asia. Getting a job and living in Japan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Norway. Winning over 20 photo contests (vaunting;). Exploring an abandoned amusement park in Japan, swimming pool in Berlin etc. Hitchhiked the length of the circumference of the Earth (40 000km) in 40 countries letting to come true meetings, people and stories which would never happen in any other way. Seeing Japan during Autumn. Being woken up by the balloon between mountains of Cappadocia, paragliding in Ölüdeniz...

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some facts about Poland, about the place where I grew up, Tricity. I can show you around, little known places which I love. I can give you few tips about hitchhiking in countries where I did it. I can teach you how to use your camera or advise if you want to buy a new one, something more you need about photography, principles of Polish... It's hard to say what I can! Just tell me what you need - maybe I'm the right person;)

What I'd like to learn is history, science, a lot of things about many countries of the world, I want to improve my languages, especially English, Norwegian and German, webdesign, programming, front-end areas and still: photography and editing skill and how to make and edit videos.
