CURRENT MISSION

To see EVERYTHING! Everything in Europe for the start, especially all the cool art out there!

ABOUT ME

“I am awfully greedy; I want everything from life. I want to be a woman and to be a man, to have many friends and to have loneliness, to work much and write good books, to travel and enjoy myself, to be selfish and to be unselfish… You see, it is difficult to get all which I want. And then when I do not succeed I get mad with anger.” - Simone de Beauvoir
I feel the same...
For the last 2 years I've been living in Brighton, UK. I work as a chef but I really want to be a filmmaker, so I'm planning on applying to a film school in Poland next year.

PHILOSOPHY

I have always depended on the kindness of strangers, quoting Tennesee Williams. It's incredible how kind, open and helpful can people be, especially in our crazy world. I think it's very important to tend disinterested kindness, it makes the world better place. I guess I believe in epicureanism, seizing the moment, enjoying ourselfs while we can and doing as much as possible as soon as possible, as good as possible. We are on this beautiful planet for only a moment, we need to make the best use of it. See it and appreciate it every day. Viva la Vida!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I'm living in a Buddhist Centre in Brighton and there are some restrictions concerning visitors, so unfortunately I can't be a host:( It makes me sad, because I'd really love to. It seems like a great experience. As soon as I can I'll be a host, promise. However, I would to hang out with you, if you're interested, so let me know.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One time in Vienna me and my friends were left alone for a night with no place to sleep and completely strange lady took us to her place, fed us and let us sleep there. Her kindness was amazing. That's why I think Couchsurfing is so unique and fantastic. I hope you'll give me a chance and make my experience with Couchsurfing unforgetable. Hope to return all your kindness too:)

I love books, music and films - I'm a real film buff;) For some of my favourites look below. I'm also very interested in art.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been to a chocolate factory. I've seen a film in a completely empty cinema in the middle of the night. I've met one of my favourite writers. I've also met members of one of my favourite bands. I've been swimming in the lake at midnight, during the storm. I've been to the roof of a stranger's house in Vienna. More to come.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am addicted to postcards. Every time I see one that I like I have to buy it.I believe postcards are some of those little things that make life better. No one ever buys or sends one with wrong intentions. They are ment to bring joy. And they help keeping the memories. Everytime I see a painting that I like I want to have a postcard with it so I could remember it. Finally, postcards are a way of traveling.
And there is a website, postcrossing.com, which reminds me a lot of couchsurfing. The idea is to send a postcard to a random person in a world and get one back from another stranger. I love that idea. And I love being a part of that project. So if you also like postcards, you should definitely check it out.

Good company, decent cooking skills, conversations about travels and other things.
