About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Andalusia :)

ABOUT ME

I'm a 32-year old translator/inrerpreter with a deeply rooted background in music (violin, once upon a time), and a liking in the world's simple pleasures, such as cross-country skiing or stargazing or something equally unpragmatic :) . I know this blank space is called "all about you", but I would encourage you to visit or host me to get to know me better!

PHILOSOPHY

Philosophy, what a big word.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Both hosting and surfing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed several couches and also hosted quite a few people in Warsaw - it was always a very positive experience and a chance to meet very positive and open-minded people.

Interests

Very many and wide ranging: from classical music to salsa. From Capoeira to cross-country skiing and mountaneering. From history to astronomy and economics.

Kieślowski: Blanc, The Ten Commandments, I also have to honestly admit that I love James Bond films (except for the "Quantum of Solace wash-out).
Music: mainly classical (I used to go to a music school and I play the violin), but also: RHCP, rock, Rammstein in the days of yore :)
Books: Eco (Foucault's Pendulum), Eco (The Name of the Rose), Eco (Baudolino) and Mrożek (a Polish playwright)
