About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"To see life as fun and take it if we can." ;)

ABOUT ME

I believe that everything that anyone who doesn't know me has to know is written down in sections about movies, books, music and philosophy ;)

PHILOSOPHY

Don't be worried about things you cannot change. If you are worried about those you can change - don't consider life as miserable, but try to make it more fun ;) Enjoy life as long as you have time for it. Smile and live your life, go with the flow ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I use to have some hitchiking Eurotrips, so I participated as surfer and really enjoyed different approaches of my hosts. Hope I'll be host one day, but unfortunately living in not-so-popular tourist cities does not help gaining attention of possible surfers ;)

Interests

I'm interested in many different things. I love IT, science fiction literature, cooking, video games and many more. I also try to make some music, playing the guitar mostly, plus some other marginal instruments. I also love travelling, watching films, meeting new people and having a beer or two while watching good sci-fi movie.

Music, Movies, and Books

Those three things (I mean music, books, films) is something I can talk about few days non-stop ;) If it comes to movies, I like more or less every type, as long as it is of at least decent value. Personally, I admire Quentin Tarantino, Woody Allen and Stanley Kubrick, those guys are geniuses. And I also like British humour presented by Guy Ritchie in movies "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels", "Snatch" and "RockNRolla". Of course, there are many other directors that I think are great, but it would take too long to list them all.

If it comes to book... I really like reading, mostly Sci-Fi books, my personal #1 writer is Orson Scott Card who introduced brilliant characters in "Ender's Game", "Speaker for the dead" and other great novels. Russian novelist Lukianienko is also in my top10, along with Stanislaw Lem.

Music? Definitely rock and everything similar (I mean punk rock, alternative rock, hard rock etc.), sometimes a little bit of metal, but it all depends on my mood. Actually, it's kind of funny thing how music affects on my whole life. When I walk down the street with my MP3 device on, I walk in many different ways, depending on what type of music I am listening to. Few of my favourite bands are Polish - Kult, Pidzama Porno, and if it comes to internationally known bands, I am keen on creativity of Queens of the Stone Age, AC/DC, Metallica, The Cranberries and many more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Nothing exceptional, just a regular stuff. Saving the world, travelling through time and space.

Teach, Learn, Share

My skills that I may share with someone is computer knowledge. Actually, many people nowadays know exactly how to use computer to all purposes they need, but there are always some, who actually does not know what are they doing with mouse and keyboard ;) And my knowledge is both hardware and software. Fixing your PC? Compiling simple programs in C++? Graphic editing photos in GIMP? No problem.

I still try to learn how to play any musical instrument ;) I'm trying to play guitar and harmonica but I haven't mastered any of those yet. However, I can introduce someone to the basics ;)
