About Me

Still trying to find myself, and hoping to become as simple as I can be.
Currently live in Kraków, Poland and working as Data Analyst. Passionate about bikes and all related to that topic. Planning to make a long bike trip with my sister across Donau. Learning german language and a bit of programming.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm not the most experienced Couchsurfer, but I think it's the easiest way to expand your zone of comfort. And of course meet the natives, discover traditions and interesting stories.

Interests

I play in a band it's called "no label". Guys are more into some old rock and i'm more about modern jazz, a bit of funk and bossa nova. So we meet somewhere in between.
My first music instrument of choice was a violin and I've learned how to play it for 7 years, but I haven't touched it for a long time. So now I'm more into guitar.

Bikes... I've got my first bike when I was 22 and totally fell in love with idea of Biking, Cycling itself. I love to do anything with bikes (repair, building, cycling and especially climbing) and even was about to run a service, but wasn't skilled enough. Now I understand that.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm really in love with new english jazz guys (Alfa Mist, Mansur Brown, Yussef Dayes, Kamaal Williams,
Matthew Halsall);
of course a bit of american acid jazzy hop (Thundercat, Robert Glasper, Tyler the Creator); some bum-indie like Mac Demarco and Connan Mockasin, old progressive rock like Frank Zappa ♥️, some old brazilliaz bossa nova and samba like Elis Regina, Joao Gilberto, Trio Mocoto, Wilson Simonal. etc. I've my favorites in every music style.

Books: The Brothers Karamazov, Atlas Shrugged.

Movies. Kurosawa's movie, some Soviet classic, like 12 chairs, Prisoner of the Caucasus, or Shurik’s New Adventures.
There will be blood and other movies by Paul Thomas Anderson, A streetcar named Desire, Before Sunruse and others by Richard Linklater, Big Lebowski, and the Simpsons till 9th season.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My brain is rather memorizing some shame things I've done.
What about amazing things... I think everything is ahead of me.

Teach, Learn, Share

Bike repairing, a bit of Front end skills, violin and guitar.
