About Me

CURRENT MISSION

E. Hemingway wrote - "You always regret more all the things which you haven't done than the ones you did" I don't want to regret much in my life!

ABOUT ME

Hello,

I'm a bit of a individualist and for that reason I find it important to respect other people but I expect the same from others towards me.

I tend to avoid conflicts but, like in life, it's not always possible and I think it's important to stand up for your own opinion.

I always enjoy a good laugh and a discussion on random topics. Especially if the subject keeps evolving. Since it is important to keep a smile on your face (there by far enough sad people out there) I also enjoy talking about "stupid" stuff equally well :)

PHILOSOPHY

You can't have everything in life

AND

Money doesn't give happiness ... but you can buy it with money! For other people of course, not for yourself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

After some time of inactivity I'd like to go back to being a fully fledged member. I had some interesting adventures on CS, sure is worth trying to keep it up.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A very cool way of getting around places and meeting new people. But at the same time it requires some courage and will to jump into the "deep water" in terms of social interaction. I won't be describing details but in short now my motto is that you should brace yourself for almost everything once embarking on CS trips :)

Interests

I love to cook! Traveling of course. Meeting new people who have something interesting to share and time to spare for a chat.

Cinema in general (prefer the older tough). Science fiction literature, literature concerning the topic of concentration camps, some of the classics.

Psychology, philosophy, myths & legends, sometimes math if relevant to what I am trying to do ...

I'm passionate about Gaudi's architecture and Calatravas work.

Music:
I like to dance to the 70's & 80's hits. In general I like to listen to indie rock, reggae & some hardcore bands. Frankly I have no preference but one - music I like.

Series:
"Faulty Towers"
"Monty Pythons flying circus"
"South Park"
"Futurama"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Fireworks display during the "Dia de la Comunidad Valenciana" - it was the biggest one I've seen so far in my life, really breathtaking!

NYC ... amazing place ...

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach how to cook traditional polish dishes.
I can try to teach a bit about fishing.
I know a thing or two about how to take good care of products made of leather since my father is a tanner.

I'd like to learn something about KENDO, climbing and sailing.
