// Remember: I'm on couchsurfing to meet people, not a free hotel.

// For guests: I've just rented a big apartment in the very city center of Krakow and I want to give back to the community and meet more interesting people. I can host you there, on the big sofa in the living room. Smoking is not allowed inside the builiding but it's okay if you go out. For info about me, read below.

People, people, people... All sorts of different people. That's what I'm super interested in. Their passions, stories, interests, connections... I want to meet as many new, original, creative, good-hearted, adventurous people as possible!

I'm a programmer from Poland who studied and lived in the UK, but that doesn’t tell much about me. What I really enjoy are long talks about human nature, society, literature, arts... (feel free to check the list of my favorite books and movies). I love doing stuff with my hosts/guests and I’m pretty much up for anything: going out for drinks, dancing, parties, a day in nature, sports, swimming, singing, doing something creative, cooking, volunteer work, home decorating, etc..
However, I do understand that not all hosts have a lot of time to spend, so I have no problem exploring the city on my own. I'm in general quite talkative and when the conversation is about travelling or science, I can talk for hours, but lately, my favourite subjects are definitely society, human nature, science, psychology, philosophy, sociology, politics, etc.

As a surfer, I'm really self-sustaining (I have my own tent, sleeping bag and everything so I can easily even sleep in the garden xD), I'm punctual and polite and I'm super interested in people, current social phenomena and problems of the area that I'm in. I always sing in the shower and never say 'no' to another round of drinks.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the philosophy of it. I tend to think that being good and friendly to all people is in the principles of being human. Also, you can not really understand any place in the world if you don't spend time meeting people that live there, and couchsurfing is the best way to do that.

The Intouchables, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Interstellar, Into the Wild, Schindler's List, The Pianist, Parasite, Game of Thrones, Trailer Park Boys, The Sound of Metal, Everything Everywhere All at Once, Manchester by The Sea, and many, many more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiked from Norway to Berlin to take an IELTS exam.
Wrote code that helps treating Parkinson disease.
Hitchhiked all around Balkans and Turkey.
Helped to write a psychiatric textbook.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can tell you a few things about programming, physics or science in general. I can also share my psychiatric knowledge as I helped to write a book on that. Lots of travelling/hitchhiking stories and polish culture, of course :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook, clean (even to a professional standard as I worked in a hospital xD), and apparently, I can have some interesting conversations with people.
