About Me

I love life and I love the world! At the same time I think we can easily destroy the nature and other humans and that's why I find activism, anti-discrimination, inclusiveness and education very important.

I love people, openness, mutual respect, art and ideas alternative to where the mainstream reality fails to do a good job.

I am very happy to share what I love and to inspire with what inspires me.

I love to learn. I have never lost the child's fascination about everything that surrounds me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing and other Hospitality Exchange networks are some of the most amazing achevements of the Global World! They let you meet the most extraordinary people and create a global network that can do magic!

Hosting/surfing is important, but it's secondary to meeting fascinating people!

Due to the ongoing degradation of the Couch Surfing portal which seems to aim more for popular backpacking in big cities than supporting amazing exchanges and distant travels into unkknown, I much prefer to use one of the following communities:
BeWelcome.org
Trustroots.org

If you have an account in one of them, please find and write me there! And if not, maybe it's time to start one :)

Interests

Generally everything that surrounds me. The contemporary world with all its mechanisms. People and their stories. Art. Languages. And much more.

I see a big hope for the world in wise, alternative ways of life. People should grow to respect one another and the nature. I strongly support feminist, anti-racist, LGBT+ and eco activism!

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies - I treat cinema as art and it's probably my favourite kind of it. Amongst my favourite directors, in quite a random order, are: Tony Gatlif, Jiri­ Menzel, Fatih Akin, Stanley Kubrick, Werner Herzog, Nikita Mikhalkov, Alexey Balabanov, Emir Kusturica, Cohen Brothers and many more.
The Big Lebowski is the shit. But it's just my opinion, man!

Music: techno, breakbeat, afrobeat, klezmer, balkan, jazz, middle-eastern, ethnic-electronic genres and much more.

As for reading, I mostly read non-fiction, but also love good fiction. Hard to give specific examples now.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling from Australia to Europe without flights, sleeping in tribal villages, riding on a rear bumper of a 4x4 while hitchhiking on one of the most dangerous roads in the world... Being a part of the change through activism.

Teach, Learn, Share

Share! Be it moments, thoughts, words, happiness, love, food, knowledge, information, support, life!

I'm completely in love with languages and I've been working as a teacher of Polish for foreigners.
I can also teach you how to make a few authentic Asian dishes.

I want to learn everything!!!
