Hi! I'm Bartek – a scientist by day, curious traveler by heart. I work with viruses and nanomaterials, but outside the lab, I love exploring places through local culture, quiet nature, and real conversations.

Currently working as a PhD student in chemical sciences, I was also working as a chemistry teacher in a primary school.

I'm very into pop music (especially Madonna and Celine Dion), Eurovision Song Contest. Lately, I'm diving a bit into modern art and literature. I travel as much as I can, prefer small towns to big cities, and always enjoy sharing stories over a good coffee.

Open-minded, respectful, a bit nerdy – and always up for learning something new.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people, not just places. I believe the best part of travel is connecting with others – sharing stories, meals, small adventures, and different perspectives. Couchsurfing lets me experience places more honestly and make real human connections along the way.
