About Me

CURRENT MISSION
My mission is to become immortal! *demonic laughter*
But there's a certain truth to it - I'm passionate about ageing biology and want to study it, so currently I'm prepping myself to pass entry exams (biology & chemistry).
Apart from that, I want to visit as many countries as possible! Currently I'm enchanted by Eastern Europe and Central Asia. More particularly, I'm totally in love with Ukraine and its language and culture.

ABOUT ME
I love both life sciences as well as the social ones. If you have any geography-oriented board/card games - I am your worst nightmare or best ally, depending on which side of the wall you want to be with me!
I know English, Polish (duh), and have been learning Ukrainian for a few months now. I'm just at the beginning of my road with that skill, so don't expect too much of me though!
I'm open to new things and new experiences. I'm friendly and veeeery curious, meaning I openly ask about everything that catches my attention.

PHILOSOPHY
Not sure if I have any specific life philosophy I follow. I'm in love with Europe and I'm a federalist in that regard. I'm also a naturalist, and I tend to believe that truth and understanding are the best things to pursue in life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to learn about different cultures, visit other countries and be more aware of the world around me. I like to understand and is there a better way to learn than to experience things firsthand?

Interests

This is my last year of preparation for a university, meaning that for most of my time I study.
However, everybody needs some time off, and in my case, it's either playing video games, riding a bike, running, or reading pop science books. I also love to know people's stories, why they are the way they are, what shaped them, and their beliefs. I'm kind of a person who loves to know and understand and that's why my main interests go towards science, philosophy, religion, and culture.

Music, Movies, and Books

When it comes to music, soundtracks from games and movies. Also rock, metal (used to more), jazz, and synth-wave. I can't stop myself from mentioning the "Humans" and the "Black Mirror" series, which I'm a huge fan of, and if you like them too, then we're friends already.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I talked someone out of committing suicide.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a lot about demography, and religions (especially Christianity), and I'm a biology freak, with a special interest in evolutionary biology and the biology of aging, which I plan to pursue a higher education in that. :)

Oh, and I'm a quite good sandwich maker, so if you're hungry, just say a word ^^
