I grew up around Hannover. My parents are Polish, so we went there on our holidays. I sailed a lot with my family and later in a club.

In 2012 I moved to Saarbrücken to study computer science and cyber security. Then I worked for some years as a software developer in a startup.

I am very active and like climbing, sailing, racing bike and hiking. I like to be outdoors a lot.
I am interested in science and technology.
I have a little workshop/lab where I like to make stuff. When I felt I was looking into computer screens too much I enjoyed building things out of wood or doing repairs in our shared flat of six people. In my last projects, I played around with smart-home ideas, created a real-time sound-responsive light show and built lounge furniture out of old planks fur our terrace.
I also like cooking when I have time for it.

I am concerned regarding climate change and interested in understanding what has to change and how the changes can be achieved.
I am often somewhat suspicious of popular opinions and like to dig into ideas. Because of that it sometimes may feel like I am opposing ideas in conversations when I am instead merely playing devil's advocate.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I want to explore a city from the viewpoint of someone living there. Also, I like to meet fun people and exchange ideas with new acquaintances.

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

I like to hear nearly every kind of music depending on my mood. But usually, I listen to electronic music.

When I was younger I learned to play guitar. I stopped playing for a long time. During my studies I met friends that studied music. We made a lot of music while hanging out and they got me really excited about music theory. This was when I started learning to play piano. I like to play modern classic style music.

Sometimes I enjoy looking for really good recordings of classic, modern and percussive music and then just sitting on my couch in front of a good set up speakers to listen to it. I got really crazy about the sound quality and did things like putting old mattresses on the walls to improve the listening experience.

Some movies I liked are "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri", "Parasite", "Mind Game", "Paprika", "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels", "Triangle of Sadness", "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", "2001: A Space Odyssey", "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", "The Grand Budapest Hotel", anything by Quentin Tarantino and by Studio Ghibli.

Some books I liked a lot are "The Little Prince" and "The Three-Body Problem". Unfortunately I don't often read books. I mostly read non-fictional stuff on the web.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Sailing from France to Mexico on a cargo schooner with 14 other shipmates.
In Mexico, I went to a small village to learn how to make a Mayan hammock.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

Love for music, crafting, repairs, everything on IT and sporty activities, especially sailing.

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

Philosophising about society, climate change, politics, technology and sciences. Cooking and sharing food that I carry with me :) Doing sports, going climbing, hiking, bike tours and more active stuff. Playing board games. I carry a card deck and Yahtzee with me ;) Repairing nearly anything, maybe fix those squeaking breaks on your bike.
