I am an engineer working for a renewables developer. I basically buy and sell power plants with my team. I try to enjoy my life as much as I can and not fall into routine of a corporate life. Outside of work I enjoy sports and music. I wrestle frequently, sometimes go running or swimming. I go to the gym, if I have enough time. I used to sing in a punk rock band and book hard core concerts later on. Though nowadays I listen to classical music most often at home. There was also an episode in my life associated with film-making. I don't eat meat in everyday life. I live my life actively and take up new challenges eagerly. I don't want to waste the opportunities that life offers me.
Interested in Adventure Sports

Fluent in German

The place I traveled to that changed me the most was...

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I want to find budget ways of travelling and having an opportunity to interact with locals. The way you view a place that you visit is totally different depending on whether you stay in a five star hotel or with a local family. I want to repay the debt that I have to all hosts that hosted me and give shelter to troubled travellers.
Music, Movies, and Books
Underground hard core punk used to define my life. Fortunately, the days of rage and anger are behind me. I listen to classical music nowadays. Wagner has become one of my favourites recently. The list of my favourite books includes Clockwork Orange, 1984, Animal Farm, Aquarium, Meditations of Mark Aurelius, Rich Das Poor Dad,货币战争. My favourite movies are Pusher (trilogy), Made in Britain, Cargo 200, Rise of the footsoldier, Cześć Tereska, Męska Sprawa, Farewell my concubine, Capernaum, American Beauty, the Gravedigger's Wife, City of God, Farewell My Concubine.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
There is a bunch of things that I could write here. Let's pick as the one that is most convenient to share, the fact that I was parachuting at the age of 17 and had one interesting occurrence associated with it. When I was jumping alone for the fourth time, my parachute did not open and I had to open a spare one. This made my emotions rise. I was then close to landing on concrete instead of grass and risking breaking my legs. In the end I got out of this alive and healthy.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach my guests basic Polish phrases and give recommendations what to see in Warsaw according to their field of interest.
What I Can Share With Hosts
My company; my good sense of humour; stories from my other travels... and of course my couch and my shower.
