About Me

ABOUT ME

I don't like traveling. Probably because my father used to beat me with a globe.

I love hosting people who use CS as a platform to exchange ideas, stories and make real connections.

DO NOT SEND COPY PASTE REQUESTS. I decline them automatically and flag them as non personalized. CS is not a free hostel.

What I love to learn from my guests: Stories when you understood your real purpose and meaning of life, jokes, German.

PHILOSOPHY

It’s just a thought. This too shall pass.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Remaining part of my profile is my old self - when I was excited about life for some reason. I will update it to my current closed minded self in due course.
PS if you want me to host you tell me what you can teach me. Requests without this will be promptly reported to the couchsurfing police.

I was involved in an european-wide non-governmental organisation- European Youth Parliament. That enabled me to discover my passion and meet fantastic people. I lived in Germany for 1 year. There I took part in EU-funded project - European Voluntary Service (EVS). I worked for a theater-oriented NGO and my main task was to animate free time for kids and youngsters using mainly theater methods. Kids were my absolutely best German language teachers!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted several guestes. Some of them were friends, some of them people I newly met. So far I have had a great experience with everybody. I am very glad to host more people!
I actually met my therapist on CS- which Im endlessly grateful for.

Interests

Sitting on the couch, political arguments on Facebook with people I never met (hence I don't like them).

Music, Movies, and Books

Only movies, music and books ?! What about theater???
Well I enjoy electronic music- downtempo, experimental, trip hop, glitch hop, instrumental hip hop, alternative hip hop, also ambient, industrial, wonky, future garage. Nu jazz, jazz rap is also great.
Many weird names? I know. I will be glad to exchange some music.
My latest musical fascination - traditional American Indians' chanting combined with modern heavy electro = mind-blowing! Wonky electronic, alternative rap (especially with a dose of humor). Del the funky Homosapien, The Pharaside.
Movies... when I was to pick my favourite, it would be and old classic - 12 angry men.
Books- short stories of Woody Allen; Krzysztof Varga. Also Viktor Frankl, Robert Harris, Witold Gombrowicz among others.
Theater of course- Theater of the opressed created by Augusto Boal, minimalistic theater, impro theater.
I’m obsessed with stand up comedy: Louis CK; George Carlin, Dave Chapelle. And a few dozens more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bungeeee jumping!!!!
Crowd surfing on huge concerts.
Falling in love with a Latina barely knowing any Spanish.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to sit on the couch like a pro. It needs a lot of practice though.
