CURRENT MISSION

Eager for a new experience!

ABOUT ME

Hola Amigos!

My name is Jacek, I live in Katowice, the capital city of Upper Silesia, Poland. My life's passion is travelling and meeting new people. Honestly, trips I love the most are the spontaneus ones without much planing. I believe that best things in life just happen ;) I enjoy partying, talking to people, and discovering new places. I used to be a solid biker, did long-distance trips accross Europe. Besides travelling, I am running an NGO and making doctorate degree at the Jagiellonian University. In the summer time I organize Liberty English Camps, events dedicated for students who want to improve their language skills through discussions about principles of free society. Lot's of fun!

What else? I love eating, especially local, spicy dishes. I would forget about beer - yes, I like it very much ;) I am already happy to get to know you and have a good time together.

Cheers!

PHILOSOPHY

People sometimes say that I am spreading the positive emotions around...;) In fact, I enjoy life a lot, and that keeps me positive. I am a liberty-lover, with strong believes that people should be free to act as they want (if they're only not limiting freedom/life/property of others). I have my personal views on social issues (Libertarian) and religion (Catholic) but I am open for any sort of ideas. I am definitely not resolute, always keeping friendly style of conversation. I do celebrate diversity, and that's basically what makes world so great! :)
