About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy life as it is and take all that it brings everyday.
And from more down to earth stuff - improving my photography skills :)

ABOUT ME

I'm sociologist by education, currently working in consulting company (mainly advisory for public institutions and government). I love mountains and outdoor activities but as I have regular 9-5 job it's mainly weekend and holiday hobby. Recently I'm pretty much into cinema and photography.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Very good! I was hosted several times and met fantastic people in different parts of the world. I also host and meet up in Warsaw if I'm available.

To me couchsufring is mainly about meeting interesting people and listening to their stories and finding out about their perspective on different issues. That's very refreshing and inspiring.

Interests

reading, trekking and othe outdoor activities, music, travelling, meeting new people, cinema, photography

Music, Movies, and Books

When it comes to music my taste has been evolving over years and now I listen to really wide range of music genres. The most important 'pillars' of my musical interests would be: rock, jazz and ethno music from differend parts of the world. But I also listen to classical music or soundrucks from the movies. Yeah, definitely wide variety of styles :)

Recently I watch really a lot of movies and I like a lot of them. I thing that Jim Jarmush is my favorite director.

Books: I usually read reportages and non-ficton books from different regions of the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitch-hiking from Poland to Spain and then back through France, Italy, Austria, Germany, Czech Republic. It was 10 years ago but I feel like it was yesterday - just great adventure :)

Update: I know that that only one amazing think is suposed to be in this section but recently I jumped with parachute and it was so incredible experience that I have to add it here :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I play the guitar a little bit so I thing I'd tech some basics for the beginers :)
