Friends call me Tomek

I am a young and friendly, contact, person, always Open for New contacts and friends. I love meeting new cultures and exchanging opinions about the world.
I spend my free time walking in the woods, in the mountains, in the gym, planning a trip to other countries.

I love traveling, so almost every weekend have some plan to discover new places :) The more local the place, the better the possibility of communing with a given culture!

I plan to stay in Istanbul a little bit longer, the city enchanted me, thanks to the wonderful people I met here.

I am open-minded - means a person is willing to consider new ideas, perspectives, or experiences, even if they are different from what they already believe. It doesn’t mean you must agree with everything — it means you are willing to listen, think, and evaluate before judging.

I do not belong to any minority or political groups, I believe that people are able to create their own identity based on their own experiences and develop.

I value the energy and time spent in social circles; if it clicks, we can have truly interesting conversations about life and the world.

I like people who don't try to pigeonhole others or label others based on education, profession, social status, or materialism.

I'm Polish by origin and live in a third country abroad. I follow the basic principles of respect and self-respect in the country I'm in, but I don't assimilate 100% into the local culture, as this limits my freedom and the ability to shape my personality, which is still in the process of identity transition.

If you are interested in Slavs and our culture, I can tell you a little about us :)
