About Me

I'm a Polish student based in Leeds, UK.
One of the fundamental values for me is to always try to learn the other point of view because nobody knows everything. Another one is that, to really move forward, is to keep breaking through your own limits and seeking discomfort.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Since I'm a student, when it comes to traveling I really like to make it affordable :) But I also love to go to new places and see them from the locals' perspective, not just as a tourist.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you want to step up your videoing / editing game, start playing basketball / rugby / frisbee ultimate, or maybe take up sailing / windsurfing / kitesurfing - I'm your guy.

I want to progress in moviemaking, learn music composition, and learn a new dish :)
