About Me

CURRENT MISSION

This summer I hope the road to take me to France (Loir Valley), Switzerland, Austria, Hungary, Slovakia and then Poland. On my way back I guess there will be Germany and France as usual. Of course then back through England.

ABOUT ME

Introvert and socially inactive, although some people (friends) may think otherwise. Hopelessly devoted motobiker and yachtsman when opportunity arises (e.g. Mazury in NE Poland). Been called "Renaissance man" because of my various interests. I'd rather call it a man with possession of vast unimportant knowledge. Hungry for new experiences and willing to visit most of the World. That is, except USA.

PHILOSOPHY

"Carpe diem" ? Nah, too obvious. Maybe something like: live and learn? Too old for learning. So, pretty much just live. And don't take life too seriously! It's not about travelling from birth to death as safely as possible...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Now I will be looking for friendly people to give me shelter on my way in Europe.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One particularly pleasant stay in Hamburg. I feel kinda guilty I won't be able to go there this year but next year - definitely.

Interests

Sightseeing, visiting new places, taking lots of pictures... Such things. Beware! I am not too social, rather reserved, but on the other hand - can go along mostly with anyone. As long as they don't have children.

Music, Movies, and Books

As long as it's not sh*t like "Transformers" or any other "superhero" crap I can watch anything. Used to love Almodovar (despite being straight) but seems he run out of ideas. And Lynch ! Oh, he's brilliant. And Burton of course. Hate series and please DO NOT try to talk with me about GoT.
Music? Gothic, folk and symphonic metal above anything else!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I have seen was the worst thing I have seen. It was to watch people change... One, who once was a visionary, a philosopher, free mind - has been molded by society into a helpless slave... Terrible experience.
But in terms of positive experience I just visited Sweden, north Sweden last year and its natural beauty is something beyond imagination...

Teach, Learn, Share

Gods know what could I put in here... I can definitely teach people to look at things from a different angle. No matter what your opinion is on anything - I can argue and present another opinion. Even if I don't support or believe it. That makes conversation more interesting!

Countries I’ve Visited
