CURRENT MISSION

Discovering the world and the mystery of life

ABOUT ME

Having fun in meeting people, kind, adventurous, responsible, reliable

I was born and raised in NE Poland where my family lives. For most of the time I stay in the city of Lodz, which is a place I work after my PhD. I share an apartment with two little kids and my wife.

PHILOSOPHY

I am trying to stay open-minded and spiritual. I appreciate long-lasting friendships, my family, freedom, privacy, tolerance, the universe and pleasure from good food and drinks :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am not pretending to become a cs superstar but at least it would be great to collect from time to time some hosting and surfing experience and meet some people for sharing experience.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Only hospitality club before, already been to one cs friend oI find the idea amazing, waiting for guests in my city
I hosted and was a guest on several occasions.

Interests

If I had more time currently, I would love to explore more: mountain hiking, cycling, music festivals, film festivals, travelieng, go-karts, canoeing, resting, karaoke, architecture, geography, beer, board-games, applied psychology, social issues. Fortunately, I like my job and playing with my little children which consumes lots of time right now.

Teach, Learn, Share

Would you like to learn some Polish? I can also teach you some basic chords on guitar and or melodies on piano.
I can share my traveling experience, the places I've seen, maybe cook some Polish meal, learn something new together
