CURRENT MISSION

To explore Sweden!

ABOUT ME

Hi!
I'm 22-year-old guy from Poland. I've been studying in Warsaw for the last three years, but I've just decided to make a gap year. I hope I'll manage to travel through European countries, making longer breaks in the countries that I learn the language of. So Sweden, Germany and Great Britain is a must in the next 12 months! Actually, I start my trip very soon. I'm going for a language course in Sweden - I just can't wait since it'll be my first visit in there!!

I'm rather a calm guy, but definitely not shy. I used to be a man of few words but fortunately it has changed. While visiting other countries,I enjoy taking walks through cities, staring at building (though I don't know much about the architecture), visiting places that the locals go to, going to parks and watching people aorund me. In a word, just trying to feel the atmosphere of a city.

PHILOSOPHY

I guess it's changing constantly but right now i'd say: amor fati!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Up to now just positive.

Interests

Sometimes I feel like lying all day and reading books or watching movies, sometimes I take a bike and go to the forest, sometimes I just enjoy going to a club and dancing (even alone!).
I really like learning and teaching languages, I've been a tutor for some time now and it's been a great experience for me. I extremely enjoy cooking vegetarian food and sometimes I'm wondering if I've chosen correctly my carrier path!

Music, Movies, and Books

I've seen many great movies but there is only one I've seen three times: Into the Wild.

I mostly enjoy listening to electronic music, but there are also some exceptions. My favourite singer is Bjork and my favourite band The Knife.

It's really difficult to choose favourite books, but one thing is sure: I don't only focus on the plot, but also, or probably primarly, on the language. That's why I'm lately fascinated with Elfriede Jelinek. I'm reading her third book right now and I'm sure I'm going to reach for more!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Such questions makes me feel I'm boring.

Teach, Learn, Share

Since I'm going for a langauge course I want to learn most of all the Swedish language.
I'd also like to learn how to knit. Really, if you can knit, please teach me.
Well, if it comes to me... I can explain Polish or German grammar ;)
