I am easy going and open minded Pole, loving life, trying to live it to the fullest by making the most out of every day. I love to travel and meet new people, to discover the complexity of the world, how we are similar and at the same time unique.

I work as a coding teacher, which surprisingly lead me to psychology, philosophy, geopolitics, evolutionary biology, religions and tons of weird stuff I never thought I will explore.

Big ideas emerge from small things. Jesus once said: "You won't find me in a big temple but under a small rock."

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I find travel industry soulless and empty like a bottle of vodka after a polish party.
The most inspiring things that happened to me during travels were always interactions with people, and CS people are great.

Algo increíble que he hecho

Got to know major marijuana plantator on Kaua'i island in Hawaii. My hiking trip become a quest to bring bags of fertilizer to one of his desolated plantations, which he takes care of for 13 years (last 2 years legally).

Trespassed into an abandoned hospital from XIX century in Beelitz, Germany.

Escaped dogs attack in a desolated part of a Chinese village 兴坪.

People used to think, I can tell the future :x I can't explain how I did it.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

Let's cook something together! I cook dozens variations of traditional Polish broth and goulash, but I'm always enthusiastic to learn one more.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

Of course I could bring you polish souvenirs - our exceptional sweets, folk-style slavic decor... but I find my host enjoy cooking together or having quality time and deep conversations more than that.

If you decide to host me, believe me, I can appreciate your efforts and express my gratitude, since I know very well how it is to host people and give them better experience than just "here's your couch, have fun".

I also understand if a best gift I can give is to give you private space.
