About Me

Hey, I'm 20something years old, curious about the world, just beginning the adventure with hitchhiking and CS.
Always positive attitude, I'm really open-minded and I love to discuss and learn about alternative lifestyles.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Beacause people in hotels look at you strangely when you try to start talking with them in the elevator.

Interests

Reading. Watching deep dramas. Drinking tea. Running long distances. Studying maths and computer science. Thinking about the philosophy. Playing video games.
Plus some sailing, some hiking, some snowboarding.

Music, Movies, and Books

Well, I read a lot, all mixture of titles and authors would get here, so maybe just these who I think to be the best: Dostoyewski, Egan, Hesse, Golding. Nabokov, Kafka and Pratchett.
I'm also quite interested in philosophy, you can see if you know these authors: Plato, Wittgenstein, Russell, Kierkegaard, Rand, Nozick.

Movies: Mostly slow-peaced dramas, so Vinterberg (Dogma stuff), McQueen (Shame and Hunger), Aronofsky (The black swan, Requiem), but also more popular action movies, like Snyder and Nolan.
And the best not-quite-movie: Black Mirror.

Music depends on the mood, but in general I'm a big rap fan (no worries, I respect people who just can't listen to it :) ), I also like classics.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climb on 3000+m in the night to see the brocken spectre at the sunrise on the top. (and then made a race down the mountain, sliding on the grass wet of dew, tearing jeans on the sharp stones, singing aloud).

Teach, Learn, Share

We can play chess, monopoly, scrabble, cards, discuss any topic, cook or sing karaoke together (i'm not very good at the last one though).
I'm curious about everything, so I'm insterested in learning anything, from your language, history of the country and the city, current political situation, playing on instruments, stuff you learned in uni, in work, or in life in general.
I can teach you juggling, spelling polish śźżćłóąę, a little bit of history, some math, fix your phone or computer. Plus, if the thing you want to learn isn't on the list, feel free to ask before and I will try to learn it before we meet :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Well, I can give you a space to sleep and some food, and my time. The last one can be used in any way, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone and is legal - I'm open to propositions, but if you have no idea, we can invent something on the spot.
