QUICK NOTE:
I don't live in Jelenia Góra, but in a small town called Wleń, 20 km out of JG. It is a great place to visit, so please read the info about my house.

I have two modes. At home I'm a suit'n'tie-wearing big data engineer, that loves to stay in confortable bed and read books. When I'm travelling I can sleep anywhere and I go everywhere by hitchhiking. But there are few things my two modes have in common: I like to meet new people, hangout with them drinking some beer and talking about everything that comes to our minds.

Btw, I collect beer bottle caps and my collection is huge (around 3000 caps from 100 countries). If you are one of the gift-giving surfers and you happen to have some caps with you (the more exotic, the better), then I'd more than love to see them!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

That's why.

兴趣

It's easier to list the stuff that I'm not interested in.

I like to know something about everything, so every half a year or so I switch to another topic and try to read as much as I can about it. Lately I've decided that I need to know biology better. Before that, I've read everything I could about artificial intelligence, before: about architecture etc....

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

2016: I've hitchhiked from Poland to Central Asia (the furthest would probably be Tajikistan) and from Iran back home. If it wasn't for the Turkmeni visa, I'd have made the round trip.

2019: I've hitchhiked from Poland to Guinea Bissau. During that trip I took the ride in the empty iron ore carriage in Mauritania. One of my dreams came true! On the same trip I've given an interview to the Mauritanian national TV news. I'm a star!

2023: my son was born!

I have taken part in a few quiz shows on Polish tv. Even won some.

I have seen a volcano eruption in Iceland from like 100 meters away.

I've been interrogated for few hours in Lebanon, accused of being an Israeli spy.

A pack of homeless dogs at Bulgarian-Romanian border had encircled me in the middle of the night and has given me few gray hair more.

Walking alone for around 20 km in Prokletije Mountains in Albania with only stars as a source of light to catch a ferry in Fierza was a thing I'll never forget.

Oh, and sleeping on the steppe in Kazakhstan. What a night sky!
