2012: I consider myself to be an easy going person with good sense of adventure. That's about it. I don't want it to look like a self-promotion.

Few side notes: I don't go to museums. I find, most of them, boring. I prefer natural landscapes over urban scenery, with very few exceptions. I just thought that you should know it. Also, I am currently trying to grow a beard.

[Update 11.2021: I have a beard now!]

[Update 01.2024: Moved to California, lived for a year in Palm Springs before moving to Los Angeles for three months. I quit my corporate job and I am doing music production at the moment. About to move to Tokyo.

I hate Los Angeles. I love Los Angeles 😭]

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I keep saying that my most valueable memories are linked not to the places I have seen, but people that I have met there.

I remember that before I used CS app for a first time I thought of it like if it was a tool that will get me a place to crash for a night, free of charge. Few years later, enriched by experience that I have earned I am glad that I can admit to be wrong at the time. Maybe it's because I've met a right people, but I like to think that factor of randomness and variety of people that build CS society adds up to most amazing experience one can get while travelling around. These 'single-serving friend' ('Fight Club' reference, did I already mention that I am really into movies?) are the reason why I want to hit the road over and over again.

Music, Movies, and Books

I hate this part to be honest. If you put a gun against my head and ask me that question I would say:

books: unbearable lightness of being, one flew over the cuckoo's nest, crime and punishment, catch 22, the shadow of the wind

movies: the reader, the shining, spirited away, oldboy, garden state, eternal sunshine of the spotless mind
