About Me

ABOUT ME

Talkative, sympathetic and open-minded. I'm 22-year Polish guy who wants to meet interesting people and have great conversations, make international friends, chill out and learn about other's cultures and persepctives.

There are two main hobbies that I have: one are great narratives, especially in games and the second one is talking to and observing people: what they think, who they are and what drives them in life. I perceive the whole life to be filled with different narratives. Like to create them, tell and listen stories - by the way, I'm great fan of RPG games, proffesional GM, acquianted with LARPs, fantasy literature and collectable card games such as Magic and Netrunner.

I speak English quite fluently. What's more, as I've been doing for 2 years my studies of Spanish philology, I'd be glad to have with you a conversation in Spanish. I'm communicative and eager to chat, but currently can't keep to normal pace of conversation (neither a tragedy nor fluency, sth around B1 level).

Oh, unfortunately I'm not a party guy and prefer to have a good, interesting conversation or play a card/boardgame than go dancing and drinking.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really like meeting new people, especially from different cultures that mine own. What interest me the most are people's stories and believes, cause I'm trying to understand others and learn as many points of view as possible. Everyone has it's own story and represent sth else and this is why I'd like to meet, host and be hosted by other potentially fascinating people (if they're using this site, that means they'd be probably a great company). But don't be afraid, I'm not going to push it and rob your secrets, not at all. I'm just a good and respective listener intrested in my interlocutors, having also some good stories to share.

Interests

I. Stories

I'm really fond of good stories. Like hearing them, sharing and creating new ones. I percieve the whole reality as many narratives being told by people, fate and other factors. And what is most interesting could be not necessarily what happens, but who tells the story and why seems it this way and not the another.

II. GAMES!
I used to be a gamer for most of my life - I played a lot of tabletop roleplaying games (RPG), collectable card games such as Magic: the Gathering, Warlord or Netrunner and boardgames that demand collaboration and some strategy (like Game of Thrones or Battelstar Galactica).
Also, I'm a great fan of strategic computer games, for example Europa Universalis or Cid Meier's Civilizations.

III. Different languages, different realites

I learn Spanish, Portuguese and Spanish and in that languages and cultures I'm especially interested. Generally speaking, I'm happy to learn anything new about your language and customs and if you're interested in listing about Polish culture and society, you're welcome. If not, just teach me sth interesting. After all I'm a beginner linguist :).
