About Me

I'm a student of the University of Warsaw (Applied Linguistics). I've always been curious of the world and I travel since I remember.
I have a lot of passions and hobbies. First of all history, politics and other cultures. I also used to train cycling. I love classical music (especially Felix Mendelssohn and Gustav Mahler) and opera. I'm also a NGO activist and active volunteer . So I'm sure that we'll find something in common :) In my free time I also write short stories and (let's say) poems :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because traveling is nothing without people.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: (classical) Felix Mendelssohn, Gustav Mahler, Fryderyk Chopin, Johannes Brahms; (non-classical) Jaromir Nohavica, Lenningrad, Lube and others :)
Books: J.R.R. Tolkien, Ernest Hemingway
Movies: "Train of Life", "Dzień świra"...

Generally, I don't like to call something "THE BEST"... there are a lot of good books, but I cannot state that "this one is the best one" :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I climbed the mountain Babia Góra in the night to see a sunrise.
I rode a horse on Kirghiz steppe.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you feel like superhero I can try to teach you Polish :)
(It's not so easy!)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Inhabitants of Warsaw are very specific sort of Poles. I live here since my birth and I would say, that I understand this city. Therefore I can show you Warsaw you won't see during typical sightseeing tour, and explain history and mentality of this city and this country :)

I can host max. 2 people. Grateful for request at least one week prior to the day of arrival to my place 😊
