I am a very communicative person with a good sense of humour (that sometimes fades into the british black humour). I am a natural born extrovert, thus meeting new people is what gives me most pleasure. I enjoy conversations by coffee. I like to eat good food both in restaurant and cooked by myself. I know Warsaw like the back of my hand and enjoy walking around it.

I am a student at American Studies Center, Warsaw University. Within the field of my studies, I try to focus on cinema and literature, particularly with regard to narrative development, because my dream is to become a successful filmmaker.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people with different perspectives on life than mine.

It is a great method to learn about world.

Maybe you will be an character for my future script, or an actor who would play a role in my future movie?

Going out with people and helping them is the part of my nature.

Traveling is what I consider a crucial element to one's development.

Interests

My main interest is filmmaking. Currently I study the relationship between B-class cinema (especially film noir) and mainstream productions. I also focus on science fiction, anti-war movies (but also action genre), independent productions, film festivals and polish cinema (1980s-2000s mostly). I like Quentin Tarantino, Kathryn Bigelow, Ida Lupino, Stanley Kubrick, David Lynch

My additional hobbys include sailing, swimming, reading and photography.
I sailed on STS Pogoria during Tall Ship Races, this experience was shaping my future destinations. I swim often and love spending time at the water. I read mostly bibliographies, crime novels, psychological novels, science fiction and american modernist writing.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to all kinds of music, but my favourites include rock (especially progressive and alternative), rap, jazz, funk and blues. My favourite bands are Muse, Pink Floyd, The Beatels, Bob Dylan and Red Hot Chili Peppers.

To the top films I'd include "Pulp Fiction", "Mulholland Drive", "Mildred Pierce(1945)", "Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb", "Birdman", "Citizen Kane", "Some Like it Hot", "Wall E", "Vabank", "Dzień Świra", "Lejdis", but the list is long and complicated :)

When It comes to books, I read almost everything, but mostly enjoy autobiographies like Anthony Kiedis's "Scar Tissue", anti-utopian notions like Aldous Huxley's "The Brave New World", short stories of William Faulkner, Philip K. Dick novels, Harlan Coben novels
