About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Walk or bike as far as my feet will take me, while enjoying life.

ABOUT ME

Let software development doesn't fool you, when Friday arrives I'm packing my backpack and heading to the adventure!
Currently I live in Geneva, Switzerland, where I work. Thanks to that location I can go to Alps as much as I want. It doesn't matter for me if I'm going far away or just next home, adventure is everywhere.
During my free time I'm trying to be productive and learn things I'm interested at, currently it's urbanism, ecology and bike building.

PHILOSOPHY

Be good and do good. I think that's enough.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Sometimes I can be seen on local Couchsurfing meetings in Cracow or Geneva. I really enjoy spending time on those meetings when I'm abroad. I was hosted several times in different locations in Europe.

Interests

I enjoy spending time in the city as well as in the nature.
I'm passionate about changes of the cities for sustainability, ecology and making them people friendly. Except that you will usually see me taking lots of photos.
I love hiking and skiing, charging my batteries from nature.

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't have any specific genre, I listen everything I enjoy, from rock to classicla music.
I think I have several movies that I can watch all the time, among which there is Grand Budapest Hotel and other Wes Anderson movies, Paolo Sorrentino movies.
I've found stoics masterpieces and I dove into them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'd say it was moving to another country for living.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn about people and places, share different perspective on life and how to live.
