About Me

ABOUT ME

I used to be pretty active with couch surfing when I lived in Poland, but not at the moment. Currently in Alabama, US, working on my PhD. almost done.

My favorite senses are the sense of wonder, curiosity, gratitude, imagination, freedom, belonging, hope, peace, adventure.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I like simple things: going out in the rain, listening to music, a smile from a stranger, the surprisingly beautiful taste of salmon and lemon pizza - I can enjoy these things quite intensely.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to cook but it's mostly just experimentation (as is everything else in my life, it seems).
I love to learn about other religions, beliefs and life views, philosophies, or experiences.
I speak, write, and understand Dutch and English fluently, so for anyone who wants to practice those language: I can do that!
I need to practice speaking Polish more.
