About Me

I come from Poland, but have spent most of my adult life living abroad. My three big passions are: economics :), sports and travels. As I move between countries and continents, I try to observe what life and economic reality looks like in each of them. That is why I am mostly attracted to developing countries. I visited Peru, India, South Korea, Thailand. Last year, I explored more of South-East Asia.

Besides that, I am a fitness addict. I do everything: weight lifting, fitness classes, yoga, pilates, running. I like to stay healthy.

I work during weekdays and that is why I am not able to host anyone on days other than Friday - Sunday.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me, travels are mostly about people. Meeting new individuals, observing the lives they live in different locations and, of course, learning from each others experiences are super important :)

Interests

Sports (fitness, gym, running), travels (the only continent left unexplored is Antarctica), literature (I love reading and writing non-fiction), food (Vietnamese is my favourite), photography.

Music, Movies, and Books

I watch a lot of TV series, but "The Big Bang Theory" and "Friends" remain my all-time favourites. I also like "Fresh Off the Boat" - it's totally PG, but hilarious!

I used to read everything, but now I realized that the life too short for bad literature. I read everything starting from Kant and Artistotle and ending on Jane Austen or Vargas Llosa.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Too many to list. One of the most amazing experiences was definitely watching the Sun rise over Angkor Wat. Couple years ago, I also spent some time volunteering at health clinics in mountaneous Peru and teaching schoolchildren in Bangalore.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you anything I know. I can share my stories and perspectives on travels, importance of diversity and of course- economic development.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My positive attitude, knowledge about marketing, travel stories and a bottle of wine.
