CURRENT MISSION

Live and let live. Visit the outer space, be back again and try to verbalize it.

ABOUT ME

My Dad was born in small city, my Mom was born on country. Their parents brought them to the newly build socrealistic distric of my city - the Nowa Huta. They studied, started a job, and few years after i was born.
...

So here I am, 25 years old.
I'm vegetarian, I love my girlfriend Kinga, we have two rabbis - Rosie and Papaya. Sadly both of us are still living with our parents - most of our friends that we study with, are renting flats in Krakow. We are living in the same flats from birth, they moved from smaller cities or villages to study in Krakow. After we finish our masters studies we plan to become independent.

I think that journeys - at any distance and in every possible way - are the most important experiences in human life. I love to meet and interact with other people.

Now i'm focused on studying my beloved cultural anthropology (currently 1st year of masters studies - formerly called 4th year). I used to study Polish filology for two years, but i resigned after failing the exams on XIXth century literature
I also study religion studies.

My first thesis (licenciate) was about ethnologists inventing their own false narratives on rural residents of Spisz region i southern Poland.

I'm now planning my masters thesis - about users of psychedelics/entheogens on religion studies, and another masters thesis, on anthropolgy - about people who work with animals to take care of them or help/cure them.

Beside of that, together with my girlfriend we are working as kids entertainers (organizing birthdays, garden parties etc.) on weekedns. I worked in cigarettes factory, right just after high school, but I resigned quickly.

I love to travel around Europe, when I was a teenager I traveled to several countries with association of art historians (my dad is one of them). When I have finished high school I started to travel by my self, most of the times together with my girlfriend Kinga.
Few times every year we stay at Baltic coast, and in Polish Pieniny mountains.

Last year I was on sailing course, and I acquired sailing licence, I will be getting the next stage of sailing licence this summer. I was a volunteer in Seal Sanctuary in Hel (city on Polish coast). We participate in association that brings help to rabbits, It all started when Kinga adopted Papaya from them.
I'm taking care of my own rabbit - Rosie.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I tried to get a couch in London, it failed. But do not hasitate to try couchsurfing over and over again. I'm just starting to participate in this astonishing community.

Interests

Cultural anthroplogy
Ethnograpic field research - I would like to perform my own, somwhere far, like Bolivia, Peru, Mexico, Mongolia or Nepal.
Art of history.
Wildlife - animals and plants.

I love to drive a car on longer distances, my own (Opel Corsa B recently, now Ford Fusion), and any other. I have also fallen in love to 4x4 vehicles, my dad purchased Suzuki Grand Vitara 1 recently and I'm finding it extremely fun :D

Psychedelic experiences in folk culture.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Shpongle Live in London 2013 - it was outstanding, far out, my mind is permanently shpongled :D

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to use camera on manual mode, and how it exactly works.

I once teached several people how to ski, it was few years ago... but if there would be snow, a mountain, and two pairs (or more) of skies for You and me - why not :D

I can share my experience on taking care on rabbits, hedgeghogs, seals and many other animals - my girlfriend studied zootechnology, biology, we participate in rabbit care association, we are volounteers in seal sanctuary, we have a friend veterinarian.

I would like to share some experiences in sailing, I'm just starting, and it would be nice to chit-chat about it

I would like to learn some spanish language (to make a big journey and field research in Latin America)
