CURRENT MISSION

Never stop learning.

ABOUT ME

Where do I start? I am curious about the whole world in every dimension of it. I really enjoy learning about others - peoples cultures, customes, passions. I find it inspiring and in return I like to share my passions with other people. I am extremily talkative so reserve some time for a chat if we find some common interests or thoughts to discuss (especially if its about movies, sports or literature). Enough about me, what about you? :-)

Interests

Nowadays I am focused on my two passions: running and argentine tango. Both challenge me on many levels, helps me to overcome my limitations and learn a lot about my body, personal traits, interpersonal communication, music, motion and so on. They require a lot of time, openness and persistence, especially if you are a beginner and in the same time they are truely rewarding.

Nowadays I am exploring contact improvisation dance during the regular workshops and using it in tango dance. Next stop - physical_theatre.

Apart of that I enjoy regular trekking trips in Polish mountains and occasionaly abroad.
I am fond of oriental cuisine especially Thai one - cooking and eating it :-)
I appreciate a good wine - my latest passion are Austrian white wines.

Also, I am doing PhD on sociology and giving lectures at Jagiellonian University.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a child of pop-culture and I am not ashamed of it :-) So I enjoy movies of directors who obviously make them for fun and love to the cinema like Quentin Tarantino, Robert Rodriguez, Wes Anderson, M. Night Shyamalan, Christopher Nolan, Charlie Kaufman, David Fincher. I am also impressed by modern drama tv-series, especially made by AMC or BBC like Breaking Bad, The Killing, Mad Men and so on.

I read a lot, so just to sum it up I would say that I like American novelists, Scandinavian detective stories, short novels by Topor, Keret, Allen, Vonnegut, Polish literary reportage (Kapuściński, Jagielski, Górecki, Szczygieł), sci-fi and fantasy.

If it comes to music I really like movie soundtracks, almost everything from Ninja Tune record, tango, contemporary jazz and piano music and few more.
