About Me

I leave at the farm near KRAKOW, in an old style wooden polish house from 1826. There is no running water in the house but I have containers with water so you can take shower in a bowl. Ir if really needed, I can always ask neighbours to let you use their shower. I do it quite often. There is power in the house and every other comodity. The house is hitted with wooden stove. Cosy winter evening guarandeed! It's a rustic life style at the farm. If you like talking about hens (and eventually feed them), degrowth, organic food, philosophy, literature, music, art, travels... and many many more, it'll be a pleasure for me to host you, and maybe show you Cracow and it's area.
Something about me;
I'm a dynamic traveler, I love life and other people. I love discovering new horizons and adventures. I'm not afraid about changes. I'm very curious and I love learning new things. Every year I give myself a new challenge, a new thing to learn. Last year I started to learn piano, this year I started to learn German. What is going to be next year? Maybe a new sport? Maybe moving to an another country? I don't know yet, I love following my desires :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I learn playing piano and in consequence, I love listening to piano music. But I like other kinds of music like reggae, rock, country, soul. One of my top favorites is Jazz. I have a chance to live in Montreal with its amazing International Jazz Festival. I like European electronic music. German, UK, French or Polish new trends are very interesting.
I like Russian literature like Dostoyevski or Bouglakov. I love french 19th century literature. Balzac is one of my beloved novelists. I love 20th century polish surrealistic literature, Mrozek, Gombrowicz and others.
I like alternative cinema but also love movies like Captain America or Iron Man. Those are classics from american pop culture.
I'm a fan of James Bond. Ask me any question about any of 007 movies, I doubt not to be able to answer!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My every travel is an amazing thing that I do.
One of them was in Martinique Island when I was scuba diving and swimming with turtles. An amazing and unforgettable experience.
My recent road trip from Montreal to Vancouver was an extraordinary experience. A lot of amazing people met, a lot of gorgeous places visited, almost 5K km by car.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach some basics in three languages I speak. I can teach my host a lot about my country and polish culture.
I love philosophy and philosophical discussions can last all over the night with me. I like partying and I'm open to visit a couple of bars and nice places with my host in the city that I'm visiting.
I can share some tips about traveling in the cities I've been.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a pretty good cook and I can share my favorites plates with my hosts. I like polish, french, italian cuisines but I have no limits. I love cooking vegan plates. I'm quite good in oriental cuisine especially Israeli. I like also asian cuisine.
