CURRENT MISSION

Trying to make tiny parts of a large systems work slightly better

ABOUT ME

Currently I am grad student at UPenn. Previously I worked as public auditor, playwright, market researcher, author, cook, and, most recently, strategy consultant. I have been spending most of the time in Central Europe but I have also lived in Scandinavia and South East Asia.

PHILOSOPHY

Change the world to make it more convenient. And yes, more convenient for me too :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I used to host and show people around in Warsaw. Since I moved to Philadelphia I guess I am going to do the same here.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

CS is the best platform for meeting the kind of people I would probably never meet otherwise. Besides, before I joined CS I would never suspect there are so many people doing Transsiberian, traveling around the world or planning one of those.

Interests

Taking pictures, exploring new places, playing squash, cooking. Multivariate analysis, network analysis, reading books not related to my work, reading books related to my work. And first of all - learning new things anywhere, anytime, from anyone

Music, Movies, and Books

Low budget zombie flicks. Silent soviet movies. Any genre fusion (e.g. "The excorsim of Emily Rose" for combining satanic horror with court drama, "South Park: the movie" for combining South Park and musical, etc.)
Any good music - from Bach to Korn, and yes, Lady GaGa included :)
Brutal expressionism of any age - like Bosch, Schiele or Munch
Shakespeare - he's still the best playwright, screenwriter and story teller ever

Teach, Learn, Share

Did I mention I was a consultant? That means I can teach/share almost anything if you give me a couple of days to learn it first. That also means I am always happy to learn.
