ABOUT ME

In general I'm a happy, live-enjoying person! Often nostalgic, sometimes indecisive. I would like it to be 1968 right now, with all the activists, ideas, great opportunities and...ok - enough! I'm just a hopeless romantic, that's it.

I love to meet new people and travel as much as I can. I'm tolerant, relaxed, peacefull blah, blah, blah.

I was born in Munich, then moved to Czestochowa (120km from Cracow), later to Cracow and now back to Munich. That means I don't really know which place to call home. But 'home is where your heart is', right?

If you read all of this put the following 'password' somewhere in the message: 'Tony Judt' - you will grab my attention and receive a quick answer. I usually don't answer anonymous copy-paste requests!! (btw. that's the reason for the low response rate)

I'm fluent in English, German and Polish.

PHILOSOPHY

An interviewer asked Marcel Reich-Ranicki:
"What are you really - a Pole, a German, or what?"
He answered without hesitation:
"I am half Polish, half German, and wholly Jewish."

Isn't that a beautiful answer?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best way to explore as a tourist is to meet the locals. That's so simple...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Roger Waters "The Wall live",

Hitch-hiked with a friend from Cracow to Barcelona through...Berlin, Amsterdam, Paris, Lisboa, Gibraltar, without a tent, sleeping next to the road in a sleeping bag. Still can't believe I did this. Hell of a journey!

New Years Eve, round 11 P.M., a little drunk, I suddenly decided to go vegetarian next year, then ate a big portion of chicken salad and...voila! I'm a happy vegetarian! It was 2010 (12/2014 - It's veganism now)
