About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Peace and Fullfilement of Humankind Potential

ABOUT ME

When it comes to traveling I am not such big fan of buildings, monuments, heart-touching views MUST-TO-SEE . Rather I am a fan of meeting local people, their culture, daily life - the way people wake up, spend their free time, talk, buy stuff and celebrate weddings/funerals

When it comes to traveling I prefer hitchhiking over trains/buses since it's way better chance to truly meet a person
most likely I love to combine two experiences to get the proper "local" feedback: hitch hiking and CS

In free time i am enjoying my time with my beautiful girls: daughters Alice and Lidia and my wife Ewelina.

Loves to follow crazy ideas and risky activities.
Promoting ecology, life without TV, work-life balance,

Worth to mention is that I have a funny big toe and extraordinary legs:
thigh like a speed-skater and calf like a piston :)
funny "R" accent and can teach you how to fall asleep in few seconds :)

PHILOSOPHY

who wants, look for a opportunity
who doesn't want, looks for an excuse
