ABOUT ME

Hello there! So, something to start with...ehm..ever since I was a tiny tot my parents just never stopped calling me Jakub so I presume it is how I am called :). I love travelling 'cos it's the best way to get the first-hand experience of life! ..you know.. to befriend some new fantastic people, learn different ways of looking around me and all that jazz.

As for my hobbies,...well... I am much of a thinker but still keeping my feet still on the ground:). I can easily get engrossed in a fantasy book and when it comes to music I just cant resist any Irish tune whatsoever, being presently overdosed on Glen Hansard - the old busker with his beaten-up Takamine.

Then, I never turn down a challange over a chessboard, for pub sports - snooker is all mine and talking about Doctor Who, David Tennant is unrivalled! Well that's it, in a nutshell at least:)

PHILOSOPHY

We shall not cease exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time. T.S.Eliot

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

"Start doing the things you think should be done, and . . . start being what you think society should become. Do you believe in freedom of speech? Then speak freely. Do you love the truth? Then tell it. Do you believe in an open society? Then act in the open. Do you believe in a decent and humane society? Then behave decently and humanely." (Adam Michnik)
