Dlaczego jestem na Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I think couchsurfing should be nominated for the Nobel Peace Price. It connects individuals from across the globe and fosters intercultural understanding and friendships. All in all, I lived several months in the houses of couchsurfers across the globe and had so many amazing experiences, with some people becoming good friends. Whenever I couchsurf, I get a much deeper understanding of the people, the region, the history, and culture. Traveling without couchsurfing would be different and a lot less meaningful. Trying to host as many people as possible to give back what I experienced, but I’m mostly traveling myself 😅 COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Only the best! Since now the hosts have been very nice and I spent an awesome time together. They always showed the best parts of their city and I enjoy the contact with local people - so I am very happy that Couchsurfing makes those meetings possible!
Muzyka, filmy i książki
Rock, Metal, Ska, Indie, Folk, Reggae, Pop, Electro, Rap, Jazz, Funk, classical music, any music played on the piano. Used to play all kinds of music in different bands. I read a book every other week and I'm always happy about book recommendations that changed peoples' perspectives. I don’t watch TV/netflix as it feels to me like wasting time.
Jedna niesamowita rzecz, którą zrobiłem/am
I think I have an more than average exciting life, but one thing I will never forget is the attempt to climb Mount Manaslu (8,163m) in Nepal. The conditions were horrible and I didn’t even get to do a summit attempt, but by climbing, I managed to raise 16,000€ for school children in Nepal. Visiting the school and village after the climb was very special.
Moje zainteresowania
* Outdoor sports: Hiking, mountaineering, climbing, cycling, kayaking, paragliding * Music: I play the piano since I am 7 years old. Favourite composers: Giovanni Alevi, Debussy, Beethoven, Mozart, Ludovico Einaudi. I like going on festivals and dancing until the sun comes up again. I like music that combines various styles or recombines and interprets songs in new ways. * People: I like to understand why people do what they do. I am interested in your motivations to (not) do certain things. I am interested how people achieve “flow” moments of perfect focus and well-being. * Business: I like to start new things. My team and I grew FLIO into the most used airport app in the world. I founded a software company with a friend from uni early in 2020. * Ecology: Renewable Energies (worked in renewables for some years; helped building the first wind-solar-hybrid park in Europe), cultivated meat (wrote my master thesis with Mosa Meat, the “inventors” of cultivated beef) * Sleep Research: For many years I considered sleep to be the “wasted” life time. After reading a lot of books and papers about sleep, I am amazed of what amazing processes happen when we are unconscious (:
