ABOUT ME

I love meeting interesting people, visiting new places and chatting in pub till the dawn comes.
I married a georgeous girl, we live in a flat with our green iguana. I work as a Polish/Czech translator and a journalist, a book of my poems was published few years ago. Sophie runs her own vegetarian blog/e-shop on Vegeteria.pl.
We both like to taste the night life and atmosphere of the city, but we still like the outdoors and nature, too, especially when it is warm and sunny outside.
As Albert Camus said : "In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer".

PHILOSOPHY

Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much. (Oscar Wilde)

Teach, Learn, Share

We can teach you how to take care of overgrown lizards :) I used to play the electric guitar in a band, so I can teach you some chords. I also dig photography, where I can both teach some basics and learn some new stuff.
