CURRENT MISSION

Write my PhD thesis

ABOUT ME

Well, I'm a freelance Polish-German-English interpreter (that's what I do for a living) and a PhD student in Philosophy at the University of Warsaw. Because of my profession I travel quite a lot, mainly to Germany and Austria.

It's kind of tough to write about oneself, but other people consider me a very agreeable person, fun to have around. I'm not the kind of guy who causes trouble.

I love music. For me it's the way to deal with problems. I play the guitar and can spend hours hanging around with the instrument. I also quite enjoy singing along to it and generally any kind of activity that connects with creating music.

I spent a lot of my life abroad, I lived several years in Germany and Austria. I returned to Poland for my studies. Thus I sometimes feel estranged in my country of birth, but I'm also a curious observer of it.

To be honest, I don't really believe in written communication as far as interpersonal relations are concerned. I much rather talk to people than text them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well, I'm a CS beginner, the only things I know about CS is what my friends told me - that it's a great experience. I've never heard anything bad about CS at all.
