About Me

I am a 23 old guy from small town in the polish mountains. I live, work and study in Warsaw.

From when I was young I wanted to do two things - make robots and play football (soccer!). I studied Automation and Robotics in Cracow at AGH UST which I finished with BEng degree when I realized it isn't that interesting anymore. I moved to New York City where I worked for few months. Now I am back in Poland in Warsaw, I study management at SGH Warsaw School of Economics, I am working in the IoT startup and I am trying to figure out what I want to do with my life - maybe travel with couchsurfing will help?

I love all sports, I play football whenever I can, when that's not possible I go running, my plan is to run a marathon (half-marathon - checked!). I like watching sports. I tend to follow more football leagues than I have time to.

In my free time I read books and try learn new things, mostly through online courser, from computer networks and programming, through economics and project management to design and philosophy. I also try to keep myself updated on political and economical state of the world.

DISCLAIMER
I am really bad with remembering names. Numbers - yes, names - I' sorry!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have met a lot of friendly, positive, amazing, open minded and great people who are couchsurfing. What is better to meet more of them than being a part of the community?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

We learn our whole lives, don't we?

I might insert random 'fun facts' into conversations, although they aren't always funny and interesting

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like to listen what other people have to say but when I get hooked up on a topic I can discuss it for hours - sports, technology, economy, startups, UX design, politics, science - you choose.
