I often hear that people I come across for the first time - like or dislike me instantly. I think I'm cursed with an ability to offend others by simply saying 'Hi, how are you?' and a 'trusty' face at the same time (except that profile picture where I look like the Godfather himself!).
My friends vouch for me, and my often quirky, ways. I value honesty most. I hate double faced people and I have a radar for others that are prone to that behaviour.

I'm very bad at small talk, as it simply bores me, and chances are if we won't jump on a passionate topic after few sentences we will struggle to continue the conversation. If, however, our minds are alike, these talks can last forever!

I tend to get along with people of my age or older, although I have been graced with enormous amount of patience and I can tolerate a lot. I don't hold inexperience against anyone. Ignorance, however, is another story.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

During my travels I have strangers helping me more than I could ever assume. This was a big surprise to someone who has never travelled far before.
When I was introduced to CS my travel time was over, however, I felt like I owe something to people who are in a similar circumstances. Having a job and a place to stay meant that I could return the favour.

I got to know more people (surfers and hosts) and I got involved. I was a Manchester forum Moderator, organizing events, workshops, creating videos for community, or just showing travelers around.

I take great pleasure in helping others, as one can never know if they will need help in the future.

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

BOOKS
Herbert, Pratchett, Tolkien, Lukjanienko - I'm drawn to fantasy and sci-fi

MUSIC
Regina Spektor, Led Zeppelin, The Heavy, Norah Jones, - It is hard to pin a specific category I like most, I'd like to think I have a broad interest in music.

FILMS
Aliens, Terminator, Predator, Avengers, Spiderman.. If it has superhero or monster in it - I will probably like it!

GAMES
Minecraft, Uncharted, Mirrors Edge - with budgets totaling Hollywood production this is no longer niche market - another media to pay attention to. Often as rich in content as books or films. This made recently to learn about game development.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

One day I left my home, my country and the Uni to set on the journey having 5 Euro in my pocket. I spend almost 2 years hitchhiking across Europe visiting many countries and living of a street art. I spend the winter back in Poland and after that I took 10 Euros and decided to cycle around Europe.
Few years later I was fully settled in UK, I have decided to go on a motorbike journey - and backtrack many places I have seen or discovered in my previous travels. I managed to race my bike on Nurburgring, and 2 weeks later I was skydiving.
