We would like to offer You more then just an acommodation but an unique Krakow experience.
Krakow - it's even not enough to call it.
While visiting us, You will have a chance to find out about the best Krakow district - the Nowa Huta - the most intriguing and full of paradoxes place You've ever visit! ;) If You want to visit a place designed according to ideal city, garden city and neighbourhood unit concept then You can find it here! :)
Of course we will help You to find out and spend great time in others parts of Krakow, as You wish ;)
We can take You to flee market or to have a lunch at a terace with a view to the Old Town. We can show You great pieces of street art or point You some top art galleries museums. We can have a great party or let You know about even greater events ;).
And finally we can take you for the best coffee in Krakow served at Espresso Bike - a cafe on a bike, a cafe which we run :) (facebook.com/espressobike)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Idea of sharing a home with others is great. It allows to have more personal experience of the place you're visiting. It is also an awesome opportunity to have intercultural experience when you are not able to travel abroad, but you can host a guest from the other countries or one who visited different places.

Music, Movies, and Books

Once - We just love this movie
Music - everything not hurting ears ;)
Marlon Brando. Songs my mother taught me - I (A) really enjoyed this book, worth to read.
Mostly I'm reading more informative books, like reports, or guides to find knowledge and inspiration for my local community works ;) (nerdy ;p )
