  • Description

    Hi, my name is Marcin. I left Poland when I was 21 years old, on my own, and went to live in England(London). That was 23 years ago.

    I've also travelled extensively most of my life and had quite a few eye opening experiences.

    In 2019 I've spent some time in North Carolina - an eco village called Earthaven - learning about a self sustainable living (gardening, farming, foraging etc.)

    I've had a lot of jobs from running a pub, renovating antique furniture, building, scaffolding, carpentry, muay thai instructing, commercial property marketing/ advertising, private security, transporting gold, travel agency to data management and so on. I've run my own business for a while as well.

    Often I've been doing two or three of these at the same time.

    I've received a lot of training for those as well like: cellar management, firearms training(brushed up on last year), working knowledge of various software for different purposes and so on. I thought myself how to use Coinbase Pro and traded crypto for a bit. Something that is pretty much impossible in the UK at the moment.
    I'm not a bad artist. I can draw and paint pretty much anything on any surface.
    Another form of art I love is cooking. Going way out of my way to find decent or at least less poisonous ingredients.
    I've done a Winter Mountaineering course in Scotland and learned the ice climbing.
    I practice meditation and various breathing exercises including Wim Hoff method.
    Not long ago I started a Youtube channel to share ideas and document my journey.
    What matters most is, that for the first time in a very long time- perhaps ever- I'm making an attempt to be authentic. I'm on a quest to get to know myself.

  • More details about your skills

    I've had a plethora of jobs from running a pub, renovating antique furniture, building, carpentry, muay thai instructing, advertising, security, transporting gold, travel agency to data management and so on. However, first and foremost I am an artist. I can draw and paint pretty much anything on any surface - digital painting included( Krita being my preferred software).
    Last year I manged to built a simple functional smithy using a few bricks, old grill and a head drier, and learned some basic blacksmithing from my son.
    In 2019 I've spent some time in North Carolina - an eco village called Earthaven - learning about a self sustainable living (gardening, farming, foraging etc.) . Would love to learn some more about that.
    I'm not afraid of any work and I'm very fit.
