About Me

I try to smile and laugh everyday, enjoy the life and the small moments. In love with languages (currently Arabic, but Spanish is in the works). I do not change myself due to different circumstances and really appreciate in people being truthful and responsible. Apart from above mentioned characteristics, I consider myself as an active person (like most of the surfers), love swimming, calistenics and dancing. I boycott public transport, so usually when I travel I try to reach the places afoot. Nevertheless, I enjoy driving with great speed :))

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it's a pleasant and educative way for travelling. Primarily, it forces you to get outside your comfort zone and makes you a stronger person, mentally. Again, the interpersonal relation is invaluable, sharing the common (as well as distinct) hobbies and interests. Giving advice. Tasting local specialities and visiting new places. But first and foremost, fulfilling your existence with great memories between people!

Music, Movies, and Books

In case of music, I reckon it as a vast part and parcel of my life. I am open to all genres, however the ones that remind close to my heart are oriental, trap, rap and various kinds of metal, notably folk metal which combines the finest tunes of traditional instruments like kobza, pipes, violin, kantele, hurdy-gurdy or kokles (the last mentioned are famous in certain region or band's country) with typical instruments used in metal such as guitar, drums or bass. That music always evokes something unexplainable when you listen to it and it is a pleasure to find out new bands which present their own culture through music (Myrath that mixes oriental music with metal,for example).

When it comes to films, my favourite type is drama,thriller, documentary, psychological, war, historical and biopic. But if you propose me a romantic comedy...no chances :P Also, till now I couldn't find the comedy that really makes me laugh, so maybe through couchsurfing you can share with me some that you like :))

Reading is also one of the activities that I consider as one of the many ways to engross yourself into different world, the path that leads to discover your true values, subconsciousness and sometimes can change your life (or at least your perspective upon certain matter). I like reading books concerning human's psychology, and the manner we behave- cause and effect. The publication that undoubtedly has changed my perception on life was "The Power Of Your Subconscious Mind" by Joseph Murphy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Feeling the unexplainable atmosphere of peace and harmony in Sikh Gurdwara Sahib in New Delhi and celebrating Guru's birthday in Golden Temple in Amritsar, India.

Teach, Learn, Share

Make comparison between Polish culture and others. How to make most of the life. How to relish little moments. Learn new abilities. New life's perspective which may change a particular view on subject. Appreciate odd and bizzare. Beauty and ugliness. Comfort and misease. Happiness and sadness (though I hope with the emphasis on the prefatory). Share individual knowledge and wisdom.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Exchange information about our cultures, travelling/couchsurfing experience, being intellectually curious, share the interests, gripping conversations, solid amount of laughter and positive atmosphere!
