Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To experience as much as one can, without compromising myself
ABOUT ME
A student of life, however weird that may sound. I consider the best way to know things is to experience them empiracilly. I've connected my life to cinema and I hope to get somewhere by this path. I love the cinematic work of Frank Capra, my favorite film of all time is "It's a Wonderful Life" and I try to live by its moral message. I adore American Transcendentalism of Emerson, Thoureau and Whitman, like to read American classics, though I like Cussler and Ludlum from time to time. I live in Warsaw, a city which is not that great in itself, but it's a place of opportunities, a city that can as well help to promote the Polish Dream. I consider myself an idealist, in fantasy - a modern version of Jau Gatsby, in reality - a James Gatz impersonator who just tries. Because the most important thing in this world is the attitude the desire to do something that'll somehow count. That's pretty much it.
PHILOSOPHY
Don't take life too seriously, you'll never get out alive (yeah, it's from a movie...).
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I'm new, but I hope to do both: surf and host. In my mind it links to see the world differently and experience many new friendships. I think I can be a great guy to talk to :).

Interests

Nothing.
All the rest of the wonderful stuff this world can bring - culture, history, literature, travelling, discussiong, spending time with this one person I've linked my life to. The same old ethos.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I've been in NGO called AEGEE - voluntaries, those passionate ones, are the most impressive thing the youth can bring to the world!
Teach, Learn, Share
I guess I'm not a good teacher, but I love to talk, discuss, argue - so maybe by the means of a simple conversation I can pass my attitude and knowledge. I think I can be pretty "contagious" :).
