I'm a sailor, constantly traveling. Most of the time spending on water on different types of boats, relaxing, exploring. Working as a sailing instructor and skipper.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Getting close to the locals is always good way to travel. It helps me discover culture, customs and language! It's just great to learn, share, give and get back.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like different kinds of music genre, it depends on a mood. Rock, progressive, jazz and classic are my favorite.
If I had to choose movie to see it would be some documentary, historical, war, sci-fi or David Lynchs film. One of my favorites are: 2001: A Space Odyssey, Blade Runner, Master and Commander, The Hunt for Red October, Lost Highway.
When it comes to the books, I can read them all the time if I'm not busy with sailing :) I like polish writers: Sapkowski, Łysiak, Kapuściński. One of my favorite english novelist is Patrick O'Brian and russian - Victor Suvorov.

Teach, Learn, Share

There is a lot of things that you need to know when you're on a boat so I'll be happy to teach you basics of sailing, how to make something out of nothing, and I can show you how to tight a knot!
I know European history quite well and I like to talk about it, especially period of XIX and beginning of XX centuries.
I try hard to improve my language skills so I'm happy to talk and learn from you.
