Hello! I'm Bartek. I'm from Krakow, but last 6 years I've spent in Italy living in Florence and Perugia. Currently, I'm about ot move to live in Spain, in Galicia.
I'm graduated in Italian philology, and I'm passionate about languages, especially those endangered and their cultures. I believe in the linguaculture concept, and that through a language learning connected to Peace and Nonviolence education we can make a change in our communities.

I'm educator and co-organizator of Treno della Memoria project - https://www.trenodellamemoria.eu/
I'm in process of joining the Youth Peace Ambassadors Network - https://ypa.network/
Arianna my girlfriend and me, we've founded our organization called Pangea Aperta, for Peace and Nonviolence through intercultural dialogue and love for diversity of cultures and languages.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm just starting on Couchsurfing, but I would like to get to know people, make friends in different parts of the world. I believe in exchange of experiences and good will of people.

I'm starting to run a cultural research in different countries, on cultures of local minorities. I think that Couchsurfing is a place where I can find people to speak and to discuss to better understand some aspects of lifes in different parts of the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

music: listen to RMF Classic radio for 15 minutes, and you will understand what is my type of music. This radio presents music from movies, soundtracks and songs, from all the genres, but with a certain sensibility, that I admire. https://www.rmfclassic.pl/

Film: I love Wim Wenders movies, and Nanni Morettis, especially Caro Diario movie.

Books: I love reportages

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm boyfriend of Arianna! (She is from Ecuador! Quite a cultural difference)
I moved to Italy from one month to another.
I decided to be vegetarian, go vegan and refuse totally any violent solution!

I wrote my master thesis on "Designing a multicultural linguistic center for Peace and Nonviolence", and I want to make it real!
