CURRENT MISSION

To couchsurf and to be surfed!
Also: getting myself more and more out of my comfort zone.

ABOUT ME

41, short, almost always smiled. Working at Maritime University of Szczecin.

I've never planned it actually. Hoped to graduate and work a board a tanker. But it turned out I'm quite passionate about teaching and learning. Plus hopefully there will be some publications left after I'm gone ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Had only few guest so far :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far - none. Up to this moment I haven't considered it as an option. I had no idea that coucheurfing is so well developed!

Interests

Oh plenty! On the one hand - science (physics, mathematics, astronomy especially) on the other - religion and theology (being an atheist I love discussing with other people about their beliefs, always with respect).

I enjoy teaching a lot, but even more I enjoy learning new things. I'm very close to being so called MOOC addict - I'm spending more and more time doing different online courses, both for personal growth and for pleasure.

When I have some more free time I like to spend it on gaming with friends, let it be computer or board games, doesn't matter. Also: going for a long walks, kayaking or sightseeing.

Music, Movies, and Books

There is no single rule here, from Almodovar, through modern Chinese cinema, up to disney animations and comics adaptations.

Music: Philip Glass, Meredith Monk, Roomful of teeth, Steve Reich, Moondog, Chinawoman, Tom Waits, Kabaret Starszych Panów, Piwnica pod Baranami, Wanda Warska, Russian composers and many many more

Books: recently mostly books on data analysis, eye tracking, human computer interaction and programming. Before that: N. Gogol, G.B. Shaw, O. Wilde, H.P. Lovecraft.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well spending 6 months on board of a tanker vessel during which I was robbed, attacked, injured and crossed the Atlantic.

Teach, Learn, Share

Can give you a crash course in Sid Meyer's Civilization 5 or siege your castle in Heroes of might and magic. Together we can try to save the world from Chtulhu (playing one of many board games I have at home).

When there's a chance can learn you how to navigate using stars or do some telescope observations.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I've recently bought a flat in the centre of Szczecin, near Wały Chrobrego. I can offer a comfortable couch here in a separate room (see the pictures). If I have a time I will gladly take you for a walk, show some interesting places and if the weather is nice I'll invite you for a kayak trip to a wonderful area south of Szczecin.

Countries I’ve Visited

Denmark, Italy, Nigeria, Norway, Sweden, Trinidad and Tobago, United States, Venezuela
