Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Releasing as much energy as possible
ABOUT ME
I'm a pirate yarrrrr. I usually have too much energy and I enjoy using it up as much as I can. Problem is, the more I run, the further I want to keep running. I enjoy running around town treating it as a large playground - from proposing weddings with random people (works best if you approach couples) to a chat for hours with newly met person.
Only issue I got is that I'm often having hard time sitting in one place, therefore I mostly enjoy spending leisure in an active way.
Since couple of years I was working as a human phone booth - call center, every day dreaming to see the whole world. Traveled a lot in the past with parents but I just couldn't stand those classic travels. I appreciate most not having a single clue what will happen with me tomorrow, approaching delightful as well as terribly awful times (you can't ride the rainbow all the time).
I care a lot to learn from travel, when facing different circumstances our brains are forced to work on a very high level, and our hamster inside the head needs to run very fast. After time it gets much more flexible if some effort had been made.
Once I will feel satisfied I will settle down and move forward to open my pirate barrrr where everything will be yarrr.
Yeah I know - too long didn't read :)
PHILOSOPHY
It's always going well and it can only get better!
In the meantime don't wait for opportunities, create them instead. Patience is a virtue. Travel as a way of self improvement and journey to the center of our mind.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Some CS meetings and surfing so far, as soon as I settle down from my extended travel I will also participate as a host
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I tried for the first time in Berlin and I only had luck, joy and happiness. And then it went on and on. Not a lot, I love meeting hosts in real life too, during my travels.
Interests
Running around a field of sun flowers without breaking a single one of them, gathering clove leafs with 4 or more leaves, fire shows in usual and unusual places, juggling, getting to know new people and their ways of seeing the world surrounding us, running with the flow of wild ideas, learning languages and new skills, trying to calm down once in a while

Music, Movies, and Books
Good old jumpy punk rock, , waiting to get experience with trance, everything with Jack Nicolson, or what's about pirates, "B class" horrors. Recently I fell in love with Japanese legends (don't confuse with mangas, though these can get really interesting as well).
Lake house!!! This one is amazing, and also "Master Pu Pu"
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Changing my work place (which apparently was meant to be a serious corporation) into a playground, where adults behaved like kids in primary school during most boring lesson ever. This was on daily basis.
Jumping off a cliff in Cracow - Zakrzówek, jumping off a bridge in Zurich when tourist information agent told me I can do it when asked "What can you do here for free?".
Travel to Spain for 3 weeks with no money, nor tent, nor couchsurfing or other things that could help me stay alive - my conclusion was (I was pretty right but not all nights were possible to bare) that it's a warm country so may as well sleep anywhere. Last 3 months of Europe travel, again with no money but at least I brought a tent this time and last week in Berlin I did some couchsurfing.
Sleeping at "Cuvry Strasse camp site" in Berlin, who was there, will understand.
Teach, Learn, Share
Can teach English/Polish/French languages, juggling and fire arts. I'd love to learn Spanish finally as well as getting to know edible plants.
I'm open to be taught how to calm down a little (but recently working on it goes pretty well - really it's not so easy not to be able to sit down!!).
