About Me

I'm currently painfully getting through my last year of high school and I'm doing everything I can to travel as much as possible. In last few months I went on a road trip to Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, flew to Stockholm and hitchhiked to Prague in Winter.
So I try to do as many crazy things as possible, like in September I hitchhiked 200km to Warsaw, took a train, a bus, got on a plane for 5euros, spent 2 hours on the beach in Gdansk and came back by train to my hometown in less than 24hours.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet new people, exchange views, opinions, experiences. Staying in other places than hotels gives me an "inside view".
After my first two couchsurfing experiences I never want to sleep in hostel again. I met wonderful people with great stories to tell, who were funny and I had great time with them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1,5 months sailing on the Atlantic Ocean, North Sea, English Channel, Baltic and Mediterranean sea to Genoa. I was fourteen/fifteen. The longest trip that I've done so far. It made me realize that often destination place is not the most important part, but the struggles of the journey.

Hitchhiking IN WINTER 2015/2016 to and from Prague over 1000km. IT WAS ONE THE BEST DAYS OF MY LIFE. I can't wait to hitchhike to Africa or Asia or South America or ANYWHERE AS LONG AS IT IA FAR AWAY.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you polish :) But I'm not sure if it is a useful language. It's really hard, as a native I still struggle with it a lot.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Polish history and culture. My experience with sailing. I can cook really well(most of the time), but I only cook vegetarian meals.
I can cook for you pierogi or bigos but I can't guarantee that it would be safe to eat my traditional polish meals.
Well, there is always polish vodka, Zubrowka instead of a traditional meal. This is how true polish people bond with their new friends :)
