About Me

Hi! Am a hitchhiker from Poland. Lowcost traveling for me is more than just a hobby, it's a lifestyle. Am a chatterbox, i love to talk, and i have a lot of stories from my trips to share with you. You will either love me or hate me, it's nothing in between:) I speak fluent english, polish, ok-ish french, and ukrainian-pol-russian magic mix:)

I have limited possibility of hosting in Kraków. Write to me, maybe you will be lucky.

I'm making short fun movies from my expeditions. You can watch them here:
(most of them in polish, but still fun to watch):

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Mostly practical - to get a couch in the big cities. And that is a real travel - to live with local people. And yes , CS society looks for me like a better part of population in the planet.

Interests

Hitchhiking, libertarianism, literature (from hard sci-fi to reality), philosophy, psychology (I pray to Jordan Peterson every single day), sport especially BJJ and MMA (both practise and following the events), cardgames, historical board games as well as history, punkrock, e-gaming (StarCraft my love, i can watch with commentary), cardgaming (started playing Magic MtG when i was 10) writing, moviemaking, montage, reading in general (I like to read or help in MA thesis of my realtives), game designing (I have 1 card game and 1 board game ongoing project), partying (no much time now), storytelling, jokes out of nowhere, academic talk on various topics (from bioethics and lingustic to alternative history, economical politics and cosmology) talking, talking, talking ...and much more.

Music, Movies, and Books

Jacek Dukaj and Stanisław Lem's literature and generally hard science-fiction, philosophical and historical books (if well written). Dislike easy reading... in free time however am reading master thesis of my friends :P
Am reading in polish (about 15-25 books per year), 1-3 books in english, and 1-2 in french (so tough 4 me, but am advancing)

I do not watch much TV or movies. Fan of "Fight Club" however

Punk teenagehood. Now music is no more than a life tool.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

more than one my dear...

I have got to Siberia, Mongolia, China, Hongkong, Laos and Thailand hitchhing directly from Poland in 3-month trip! (23 ooo km). And i have written a B O O K about. If you read in polish &enjoy travellers book "Kierunek Kitaj" is highly recommended. 100% worth reading!

I got to the Persian Gulf by hitchhiking from Europe! In the winter! Alone~!

I was the organizer of the annual "Alternatywny Autostopowy Sylwester"
(3 day long New Year's party/Carnival for hitchhikers)
