CURRENT MISSION

Stay hungry. Stay foolish.

ABOUT ME

Recent Sociology graduate, I am working now in as an market research analyst in Warsaw.

I love travelling on my own and usually come back in debts after holidays ;). I like exploring other countries step by step, city by city. My favourite destinattions are Spain & Italy. Going to Iran in September 2014 so getting more and more excited as the date approaches.

My main interests are pretty much typical - books, music and movies.

I like Italian cuisine (I like cooking myself) and good, red, dry wine as well as wheat beer (especially from Bavaria).

I love running and I've recenntly finished half-marathon with 1.56.48 time, and now I'm training for a marathon (although my knee is a kind of rebel recently :(). I also love skiing nd hiking. I guess I like almost all kinds of sports.

PHILOSOPHY

Stay hungry. Stay foolish.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Interests

Sociology, social anthropology, political anthropology especially in context of Balkans and problem of nationalism, collective memory. I am also interested in macro political issues like natural resources, energy, land ownership problems.

I am highly skilled in waisting my time browsing internet and youtube for interesting stuff :).

I am also interested in street photography, lomography and art (Reinassance, late medieval, 1850-1950 are my favourite periods).
