About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live Your Life

ABOUT ME

I'm a down-to-earth type of guy looking to meet adventurous and outgoing people. I socialize a lot, especially here in Krakow where the social scene and nightlife is like a never-ending dream.

I'm the backpacker and photographer behind "Photographs of an Unwritten Future" (30 pics) as well as “The Point of Travelling" (100 pics) photography exhibitions. Web Site: www.PHOTOhype.com

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been with backpackers for many years, so I'm pretty up to speed with meeting new people from around the world and having a memorable time. For 5 years straight, while shooting The PHOTOhype Project, I lived entirely inside youth hostels across Europe and the USA. I even have a permanent photo exhibition in BARCELONA to showcase those wonderful years!

Thus, I understand what it's like to live out of a backpack while relying on the hospitality and care of strangers.

Interests

I’m interested in a lot of things. Photography, travelling, marketing, cooking dinners, and the film industry are among my top interests. I'm a talker with plenty of amazing stories to share - yes, I'm a writer as well. As a listener, I like hearing people's stories, especially stories about personal journeys/achievements and how your parents got together. Maybe a bit bizarre, but it's true - romance back then sounds so much better than what I hear and experience today.
