CURRENT MISSION

Do at least as much for others as I would like them to do for me

ABOUT ME

krzysztofturowski.com

I enjoy doing stuff for the first time. I thrive on integrity and respect anyone I can find who has it.
I am a musician, photographer, sailor, designer, and web developer.

I used to live in the United States for 5 years, then moved back to Warsaw for 2 years, then sailed across the Atlantic and ended up in Dominican Republic for 1.5 years. Now me and my wife are moving to Poland again.

PHILOSOPHY

self-controlled naivety - i like to believe that people are good by default.
