Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i've both surfed and hosted and I really love the idea of meeting open-minded and interesting people and discovering the cities through their eyes.

Interests

I'm cultural animator and producer and I love it. Organising festivals and projects connected with literature, film, theatre, design and audiovisual arts is the big part of my life.

  • arts
  • literature
  • design
  • festivals
  • visual arts

Music, Movies, and Books

Almost all, starting with B-class cinema as "Plan 9 from outer space", through A-class commercial one, to the european avantgardes. Starting with American movies, through European, to Asian, etc. etc.

I love concerts, I love jam sessions, I used to play violin and clarinet and extremely regret giving them up. Fortunately, I still can listen to different kinds of music and discuss about it, hopely with you.

As for the literature, recently: Sandor Marai, Bruno Shulz, Jose Saramago, Vargas Llosa, Jean Echenoz, Hermann Burger, Alfred Kubin, Roland Topor, etc.
