Hello!

We're from Warsaw, the capital of Poland. My name is Jacek. I was studying economics and working as a market research manager. My wife name is Dominika. She has just finished medicine studies, and now she's wondering what to do next.

On 16th of March, 2016 we decided to leave a lot of things behind and started, what we hope will become a round the world trip. So now, we're on the road!

We're running our website www.szpilkinamapie.pl and facebook fan page www.facebook.com/szpilkinamapie

You can check some of our photos here http://www.szpilkinamapie.pl/zdjecia/

Before leaving the country we've made a short film showing beauty of Poland. You can check it out here: https://vimeo.com/150879953

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because we think, that meeting new people is the most important thing in travelling.

Interests

Now we have lots of work with running the website and social media channels. We love to take photos, make movies and write blog articles.

Before leaving, I was playing in a rock'n'roll band called Westwood. Check us out here: www.westwood.bandcamp.com

Music, Movies, and Books

We're reading a lot of travelling-related books and contemporary reportage/commentary/coverage. Polish writer Ryszard Kapuściński is a great example of well written reportage that we love to read.

As far as the music goes, well there's a lot: from Elvis to Black Keys. Techno/disco/dance and others of that sort - not really ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We've travelled here and there. Did a trip round Europe, Balkans, to Caucasus and Iran, two times in Africa. But we're not done yet! :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Dominika is brilliant at maths, physics and chemistry. I can teach you how to shoot and edit photos, make a movie and do the basic edits. I can also learn you some chords on a guitar and how to play the blues :)
