About Me

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I had an amazing first experience of couchserfing in Hungary, staying at Valentine Frey house - an incredible human being.
His hospitalibity, kindness and big, gentile and fragile heart (also stories about people, that he hosted - he's an experienced couchserfer - and conversations with fantastic people, that were at his place that time) inspired me to enter the world of couchsurfing.

Music, Movies, and Books

I try to breath through the art, beginning to perceive myself as an artist.
There are so many inspirations that move deeply my heart.
From the world of music : it's definately jazz, especially modern scandinavian (produced by my lovely ECM records label), classical music (especially Bach, Part and Richter), folk music (I love exploring music traditions around the whole world) and indie (Fismoll, Sigur Ros)
Films : from polish land - Kieślowski is my favourite, I also love "Cicha Noc", "Wesele", "Chce się żyć", "Wieża. Jasny Dzień", from the rest : Sorrentino, Tarkowski, Ozon, Zwiagincew, Farhadi, Haneke, Bergman, Almodovar, Jarmush, Dolan
Literature : (polish) Tokarczuk, Karpowicz, Gombrowicz, Schulz, Witkacy, (world) Cortazar, Knausgard, also some philosophy like Tischner, Levinas or Platon and poety like Szymborska, Miłosz and Krynicki, Poświatowska or Baczyński.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I experienced music. Like every cell of my body was fullfilled with the sound, it was some kind of metaphysical.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach You some simple melodies on violin, also on piano if we will have an agreement from my flatmate to enter his room... :p
I can share my art inspirations, there are pretty much of them (look below).
I can also share my coffee passion, I'm kind of a coffee freak, I'm also a self-barist too - speciality coffee is my love for one year!

What I Can Share with Hosts

My heart, opened for everyone.
