Personal Description

I believe we choose the ways we go through our lives. I usually walk my own ways - like a cat.
I love the nature and I like the taste of adventure... I want to take as much I can from each day of my life, and I want to give as much I can to the others. I don't want to regret anything when I die.

CouchSurfing Experience

Participated several CS meetings in Wrocław, surfed a few couches and hosted several guests. Met many interesting people through the site.

Interests

In the free time I read dozens of books - philosophy, sociology, interesting novels and stories and a bit of poetry. I take photos, create web-designs, computer graphics and sometimes I paint with oils. I ride a bike and I love swimming.

Music, Movies, Books

• Friedrich Nietzsche - "Also sprach Zarathustra"
• Aldous Huxley - "Brave New World"
• Burrhus Frederic Skinner - "Walden Two"
• Hesse Hermann - "Das Glasperlenspiel"
• Antoine de Saint-Exupéry - "Le Petit Prince"
• Dostojewski Fiodor - "Zbrodnia i kara"
• William Gibson - "Neuromancer"
• Bard, Söderqvist - "Netokracja: Nowa elita władzy i życie po kapitalizmie"
• Graham, Knuth, Patashnik - "Concrete Mathematics"

Arek is a great host. It's true what he writes on his profile that he likes to give to others. He really gives a lot! He showed my around his region, tries to point out what i might find interesting. He knows a lot about the history of Poland and his region and so he can teach you a lot. His parents and his brother are really friendly people and they all try to make you feel at home and do many things for you ;-)

I could not imagine a better host than Arek! It was a really good time and not only because we both study computer science=] Thank you very, very, very much from me and Monta for the couch, meals, tours around Šroda Šlaska and Wroclaw and every thing else! Waiting for you and your family to come to visit me and my homeland!

Arek is cyber warrior battling to be a better human being. He has a wide breadth of interest and talent and is looking to add it to the world. Arek walks his own path and if you have the time to walk with him there is something to be learned there.

Even though we met only briefly while at a HC meeting in Wroclaw, I do feel that Arek really does have something to add to the CS community.
