Experience simple living and wild nature in Dołżyca, Poland

  Description

  Hi! My name is Krzysztof.
  I live in the most beautiful region of Poland — the Bieszczady Mountains. My nearest neighbors are 300 meters away, so here you’ll find real peace and closeness to nature.
  I share my home with four dogs and five cats — they are my family.
  
  I used to work with photography, filmmaking and editing. I also wrote short stories. Nowadays I create assemblages and sculptures, and I play the bass guitar. You can find my art on Facebook
  
  I have ADHD — so I’m rarely bored and I love exploring new ideas. I’m fascinated by insects and wild nature, I love art and old things with soul and history. I listen to Coil a lot. I don’t drink alcohol, I meditate and I run short distances sometimes.
  
  My home is fully vegan — there’s no place for meat or dairy here. I have a VW T4 van and a drum kit — so if you play, we can jam together!
  I love meeting open-minded, creative people — kindred spirits, musicians, artists, travellers.
  You’re welcome to come with your own animals too, although I can’t promise they’ll instantly get along with mine.
  There’s good internet here — you can rest, create, work remotely or just enjoy the calm and the forest.
  I speak Polish, basic English and Russian — and I’d love to practice my English and learn some Spanish too.
  I usually invite guests for short stays — up to a week, unless we really click and decide to stay longer!

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  I can show you beautiful places—bear and wolf tracks. I can teach you how to find dead beetles and how to prepare them. We can make music together.
  I'll share my knowledge and experience in studio photography. And probably much more.
  Being able to speak English, even if it's not your native language, will be a real asset to me. I'm also happy to speak Polish.

  Help

  Before you arrive, we'll discuss the type of assistance that's right for both of us—but don't worry, it won't be too much work.
  
  Getting to know you and having a great time is what matters most to me. Of course, you can cook if you'd like!
  
  I also know many beautiful, hidden spots in my area, and I'd be happy to show you around.
  
  If this sounds appealing to you, drop me a line, drop by, and we'll spend some time together!
