About Me

Right now it looks like I'm in the "settled" part of my life - I've got a job and a steady income. I want to change that. I will be working as a teacher for one more year, and then? Who knows? We'll see what kind of opportunities present themselves.

I would like to see as many interesting places as possible, though I am more of a "see the city, visit a museum, drink a beer" kind of guy, rather than "take a trip through jungle on a bike". I like new things though and I rarely say 'no' to stuff (don't take that too literally, however)

As a guest I can be invisible or practically living your life with you - depends on what you want at the moment. I can't host right now, but I hope it will change in the future. I also don't live in a place that is visited very often, but if you are desperate we can definitely work something out.

I don't smoke, I don't pray, I swear sometimes and I enjoy a drink. I am particularly fond of movies, so if there are no other plans we can always do that I guess?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Making your life easier by having a place to sleep that can hopefully lead to making new friends and having a grand ol' time in a new place (for me) :)

If somebody visits Leszno's surroundings I am more than happy to help.

I've already been hosted by two people - Abdelilah in Fez and David in Madrid, so if you have any doubts about me you can always ask them about references (David's are also on my profile)

Interests

If I just write "film" it will be lame, right? But the truth is I practically live on IMDB, I enjoy classic cinema, blockbusters, foreign difficult flicks, stupid action cinema and so on. I easily remember all the names and titles so I can always be the "Um.. actually" guy in a discussion.

I like books too - especially American literature, and my favorite book is Michael Jordan's biography "Playing for Keeps". I usually have my kindle with me, so we can argue about that kind of stuff too.

NBA - watching and analyzing. I start my day of with visiting ESPN page's. I don't play though, because I am 179 cm tall and unathletic.

Languages - especially English, but I enjoy learning things.

Art - one of the areas of my job, but I like on private time too.

Music, Movies, and Books

Too long to start discussing it in depth, and I don't enjoy giving exhaustive lists, but for starters:
Music - Oasis (have seen them twice in concert, once a month before their break-up)
Movie - Fight Club (a popular choice, but after so many years and so many repeated viewings I stil think it's amazing)
and Book was discussed before

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Either Hitch-hiking from Poland to Spain or coming third in a TV quiz show (a knowledge one, not a stupid one)
