About Me

CURRENT MISSION
My mission is to be immortal! *demonic laughter*
But no, really. Let's transfer our minds into robots and let's experience life and beauty till the heat death of our universe.

ABOUT ME
I love science, and I'm passionate about good-quality tea. Give me a kettle of tea and ask what I think the future is going to look like and I won't shut my mouth for the next few hours.
I know English, Polish (duh) and I try to learn Polish sign language. I'm just at the beginning of my road with that skill, so don't expect too much from me though!
I'm open to new things and new experiences. I'm friendly and very curious, so please, don't take me asking about everything as a bad sign!

PHILOSOPHY
I'm in love with Europe and I'm huuuge supporter of a federal Europe. All Europeans are countrymen to me. Apart from that, I tend to follow the philosophy of live and let live.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to learn about different cultures, visit other countries and be more aware of the world around me. I like to understand and is there a better way to learn than to experience things firsthand?

Interests

This is my last year of preparation for a university, meaning that most of my time I spend on studying.
However, everybody needs some time off, and in my case, it's either playing video games, riding a bike, running, or reading pop science books. I also love to know people's stories, why they are the way they are, what shaped them, and their beliefs. I'm kind of a person who loves to know and understand and that's why my main interests go towards science, philosophy, religion, and culture.

Music, Movies, and Books

When it comes to music, soundtracks from games and movies. Also rock, metal (used to more), jazz, and synth-wave. I can't stop myself from mentioning the "Humans" and the "Black Mirror" series, which I'm a huge fan of, and if you like them too, then we're friends already.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I talked someone out of committing suicide.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a lot about demography, and religions (especially Christianity), and I'm a biology freak, with a special interest in evolutionary biology and the biology of aging, which I plan to pursue a higher education in that. :)

Oh, and I'm a quite good sandwich maker, so if you're hungry, just say a word ^^
