About Me

Philosophy graduate who decided to (more or less) fuck it all and become a digital nomad. So I'm slowly working on my plan (a lot of IT learning). I like to cook (and I'm good at it), I like cats, I work with children with disabilities as a camp counselor etc.
I will probably learn some foreign languages in my life, but I'm also learning "foreign" programming languages for the moment!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

During the week I work, during the weekends I'm traveling, so... CS sounds like a good option to get to know nice people, travel and learn something. :)

Interests

Instead of that few quotes, I like (from artists, books and movies I like)!
I found that things became a lot easier when I no longer expected to win. You abandon your masterpiece and sink into the real masterpiece.
L. Cohen
Dopiero w samym środku zimy przekonałem się, że noszę w sobie niepokonane lato.
A. Camus
Zwięzłość słowa rodzi szerokość myśli.
J. P. Sartre
Do… or do not. There is no try.
Yoda
Zaprzyjaźnij się z bólem, a już nigdy nie będziesz samotny.
Ken Chlouber
Jesus man! You don't look for acid! Acid finds you when "it" thinks you're ready. 
Zaburzenia. Jakie zaburzenia? Wszyscy jesteśmy piękni, zepsuci i sentymentalni.
When you're slapped, you'll take it and like it.
Sam Spade (H. Bogart) The Maltese Falcon
Paranoia is just another word for ignorance.
Hunter S. Thompson
Zawsze się znajdzie odpowiednia filozofia do braku odwagi.
A. Camus
Większym jest grzechem ślubować niż ślubowania nie dotrzymać.
G. Ch. Lichtenberg
They danced down the streets like dingledodies, and I shambled after as I’ve been doing all my life after people who interest me, because the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn...
J. Kerouac
Nadzieje na jutro są atrakcyjne, póki dziś nie stało się wczoraj.
W. Faulkner
Wiara jest dobra dla tych, co ją mają. Mnie nią nie obciążajcie. Mam więcej wiary w mojego hydraulika niż w wieczną istotę. Hydraulicy wykonują kawał dobrej roboty. Podtrzymują przepływ gówna.
Ch. Bukowski
Cynizm jest w rzeczach, nie zaś w słowach, którymi te rzeczy się wyraża.
K. Marks
Once started out
to walk around the world
but ended in Brooklyn.
That Bridge was too much for me
I have engaged in silence
exile and cunning.
L. Ferlinghetti
Miałem zły dzień. Tydzień. Miesiąc. Rok. Życie. Cholera jasna.
Ch. Bukowski 
Muszę ten świat podbić, przywłaszczyć sobie, napełnić mymi słowami, obrazami, gdyż wyszykowany na moje podobieństwo przestanie mnie wykluczać.
M. P. Markowski
I have no plans. No dates. No appointments with anybody. So I leisurely explore Souls and Cities.
J. Kerouac

Music, Movies, and Books

Too many to count. So three the most important movies in my life are:
Aguirre, der Zorn Gottes, A bout de souffle, Citizen Kane.
I also love Tarkovsky's movies - all. But I have a lot of movies I like. Those three movies were important to me many years ago. When it comes to series I love Northern Exposure and Twin Peaks.
Books? I loved many. But Camus, Dostoyevsky and Kerouac books were probably really important to me (many years ago).
Music? No way I will write about that! Mostly blues, Americana, guitar folk, Bob Dylan etc. – stuff like that. Good music, and good pop like Cohen before I'm your man (including), rock Led Zeppelin etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was hitchhiking for 4 nights and days without sleeping (extreme exhaustion). In the winter, minus 20 degrees, about one meter of snow. No people there and I had to walk at night about 15-20 kilometers to the nearest (more or less abandoned) village and bus stop - after almost falling asleep in the snow. It was stupid (but fun)!

Teach, Learn, Share

Well. I really don't know. We all have different experiences, and we can share those. :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook you something for example. Well. We will think about something. :)
