About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be efficient and enjoy life, 2 steps to become future chessboxing champion!

ABOUT ME

23 years old, active person. Sometimes afflicted with various intrerests and i jump from one thing to another, which is not that cool, so recently i work on my habits, to get important things grounded.

PHILOSOPHY

The one below this is nice and cool, but the truth is within this one: "We don't rise to the level of our expectations, we fall down to the level of our training" - most of things, that I achieved are explained by this statement ;)

I just founded that quote and it is such a beutifull and meaningfull expression, i wish i feel that way:

"They danced down the streets like dingledodies, and I shambled after as I've been doing all my life after people who interest me, because the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!" -Jack Kerouac

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I think that it is my problem that i don't have enough frietds,m maybe i am picky, or it is just a common characteristic of a chess player but i want to change that. Therefore i want to meet people, host them and travel from time to time.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was onced hosted in Berlin it was my first experience and it felt really good. Moritz was very helpfull and the best part was that i traveled to Germany to watch the Chessboxing contest. I saw 2 great battles that day. What can be better start than that.

Interests

Mnemotechnics - do you want to remember the deck of cards under 5 minutes? I can teach you and a lot of fun and more practical things;)
Languages - i fell in love with memrise mostly becasue of mnemotechnics, thats great way to learn, very efficient
Sports - i am a lifeguard, i love skiining, enjoy playing footbol but the one and only mistress must be chess. I want to become international chess master in 2 years. I also fancy martial arts so when i saw chessboxing i was lost in the meanwhile for that idea. I have never achived anything spectacular in the field of sports, so i want to prove myself and become world chessboxing champion;)

Music, Movies, and Books

Mainly rock, but i like other genres also, i like poetry so for example polish sung poetry sounds pretty sweet for me, specially

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I definitely have to work on that one. I won some tournaments, i climbed down from the window using linked bedsheets (you don't want to hear that tearing sound in the middle of the levels;) but the most subtle and packed with happiness moment was when i suprised someone who didn't expect me. To this day i treasure that voice, that wonderfull feeling that you could give someone what i found then as pure happiness;)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you all about mnemotechnics and chess.
To boost our mind activity in break we can juggle;)
