About Me

-- Currently not available in Poland, in the US until beginning of December --

I’m a filmmaker and photographer from Poland. Currently traveling through the US with my friend to discover authentic southern experiences. In my travels I look for human connections and stories that can move people’s hearts when told in a movie format. Until 30th of November we will be driving around Southern States, mostly Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas and Louisiana.

If you know anyone who we could talk to in order to tell a great story - please don’t hesitate to let me know.

And I could spend every day watching the sunset.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A long time ago I treated traveling as a checklist - to just achieve as many visited places as possible. But then I discovered that while places are fun, discovering them is always the best with local people.

Interests

I love science, new technologies and personal development. I’m trying to make meditation a habit and journal every day. I also love games, both sports and video games.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love rock music, I grew up listening to Rise Against. I think it made a big impact on how I look upon the world - always trying to change it for the better. In recent years, I discovered my love for Americana and country music.
And live music is definitely my jam.

I love drama movies and tv series that make you want to watch an entire season in one sitting. I’m a sucker for underdog stories and I always get emotional when the little guy finally overcomes the odds.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every new year at my university there's a classical music concert to celebrate the new year. A couple of years ago during intermission, I got to drink whisky with the chancellor of my university in his office. That was fun, lol.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn and meet new people. I feel that so much can change in one’s life based only on conversations. Even a couple good words can have a big impact. That’s why I love to talk with people, especially the ones that are different from me in order to get a new perspective.

My favorite quote:
“We used to look up at the sky and wonder at our place in the stars.”
