i despise capital letters.

my extramotherly life began on a cold day in january, 1991. maybe the day wasn't cold, i can't tell that for sure. for less than a year a was a citizen of the ussr. for the rest of my life, i wasn't (providence?).

i went to kindergarten where i learned how to handle a spoon and a fork, the skills i still cherish.

after that life has got so much more complicated.

now i'm 25 and getting bald. a lot of things has happened, a lot of things i'd be happy to talk about with you, my future friend.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

i like the taste of new cultures. i like to see places, meet people and fill in forms.

Interests

making this world a better place. also, poetry, photography, visual arts, theater, jazz music, lingustics, ecology and polish donuts called pączki. they are the best. i wish people were as cool as pączki.

Music, Movies, and Books

books - to kill a mocking bird, catch-22, anna karenina, l'étranger, ikea assembly instructions.

movies - a man of marble, enter the void.

music - well, sometimes it's death metal, sometimes it's frédéric chopin.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i saved a kitten from stray dogs, took him home and gave him a proud name of roald amundsen. as a gesture of gratitude, mr amundsen devastated all the wallpaper and peed in my sneakers.
