About Me

I am open minded person who like sciences and art and travels a lot. I am from polish minority in czech republic but we speak our own language which is something between czech and polish (but I am fluent in both of the languages) and have our own mixed traditions. So basically both sides put me in the other group and as a verdict I dont belong anywhere. I guess this is the reason why I am not attached to the country where I live.

I have a bachelor in 3D animation and movie making and I am currently studying game design. I hope these skills allow me in the future to work abroad on something meaningful.

I dont own my own place yet so I am unable to host anyone. But I will definitively consider to host when I make my own home.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was fortunate enough that I have family who love to travel (and I traveled around the world with them) so they started this passion in me basically in my year 1. Now I am an adult with my own life and dreams and I want to travel on my own. Normal sightseeing is often not enough and I want to learn about culture and people who live there. Also it make travel far more affordable and I am able to to see and experience more.

Music, Movies, and Books

My taste is constantly evolving and changing so things I write there could in a half year be irrelevant. But I have few favorite things I am certainly not going to to be tired of.

Movies are definitively my most favorite kind of entertainment. My biggest inspiration is Stanley Kubrick and mainly 2001: A Space Odyssey. Miloš Forman ( People vs Larry Flynt), David Fincher(Fight Club) and Pixar (Toy Story) are right behind him.
Few movies I love: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Requiem for a Dream, Good Will Hunting, Fisher King, Grand Budapest Hotel, Star Wars, Fifth Element,....

I love listen to music and I can get really emotional over it. But its hard for me to find something I would really like and therefore my music library is really limited.
Favorite bands: The Beatles, David Bowie, The Doors, Pink Floyd, Muse, Kasabian, Arcade Fire,....
Favorite songs: My guitar gently weeps, Something, Helter Skelter, Temporary secretary, Across the Universe, Staman, Ashes to Ashes, Width of the Circle, Take a Bow,.....

I love to read but I am really slooooow reader. I have an ebook so when I finish one book I imediately start another. Recently I fell in love in Murakami after I red 1Q84.
Favorite books and autors: A Song of Ice and Fire (mainly 3 first books), Karel Čapek, Harry Poter, Lord of the Rings, Arthur C. Clarke, Haruki Murakami, 1Q84,...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well this is hard because I dont feel like I achieve something really big. Or at least amazing for others. But my personal victory is when I quit school which made me really unhappy and I managed to get in to animation school (my dream since childhood) basically without any artistic background and be decent there.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you something about computer graphics, animation, 3D, movies or games. Beside that I am complete looser.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer my positive attitude towards meeting new people and trying new things.
