About Me

I'm from Poland and I love to travel. I love visiting places I know nothing about - and get to know them, crossing any communication border, meeting people and sharing stories with them.
I've already been in almost every country of Europe (including Balkans and Eastern Europe), Turkey, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and South America. Now I'm heading Greece, Turkey and Cyprus, I'd love to meet you on my way!

Interests

I find very interesting how do people think and how does human brain works. I study philosophy and cognitive science in Warsaw. I'm also interested in art, particularly film and literature. I love hitchhiking as the best way of getting to know people.
I do also love playing board games (chess, checkers, go, Abalone, Risk - just name it) and cooking (I used to work as a chef; I'm open to new tastes and surely will try anything that is a speciality of a region) - so if you share any of these passions, I think we can make a bond :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Books:
Among my favourites are: William Faulkner, Fiodor Dostoyevsky, Philip K. Dick, Stanislaw Lem, Jorge Luis Borges, Balzac, Joseph Conrad. I love good science-fiction and non-fiction.
Music:
Mostly classic and classic rock - from Beethoven to Pink Floyd.
Movies:
Same here - I like whatever's good. I'm in love with American and Eastern European cinema. I like complex stories with happy endings.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Going to Brazil, far away from home, just because we made a deal with my brother, that we will go and see his friends performing at Paralympics in Rio. So we did :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I was a cook in high-quality restaurant for a long time, and though I've changed my path, I still love to cook and share love for simple, fresh dining. I would love to make a meal for you or try to experiment with local products and traditions. The food is something I do remember the most from my trips (and, among strangers, I'm most remembered for) :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cooking a good meal and share a nice talk would be my pleasure :)
