Hi there! I'm Artur and I'm a law student from Poznan, Poland. I'm open-minded, laid-back person, who likes both having adventures during exciting trips and having sometimes a lazy day in a hammock in garden :)

I am very tolerant and open for the other cultures and this is what I like in other people, too. I am pretty talkative, but if someone is rather silent, that is okay for me, too.
And I LOVE spending time with other people :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling and meeting new people. Sharing experience with other travellers and finding about not-so-touristy spots in foreign countries is the most important part in travelling for me. I prefer to "get lost" a bit in a new city than just check TOP10 in guide book ;)
I know a bit about my own city as well, so I'd be happy to share my knowledge with the others and show you both nicest museums and the best restaurants in Poznan! :)

If you are willing, I am always open to try a new language - and teach you a bit Polish, as well :)

Interests

I used to play on electric & bass guitar in a band for a couple of years, so music is one of my greatest passion.
I also love reading. Normally, I don't have much time for it, but when I have a day off, I'm consuming amounts of books and I'm always willing to discuss about it.
I'm not the Master Chef, but I cook pretty good (if you have opportunity to meet my friends during your stay with me, you can ask them :D ) and I like preparing tasty breakfasts, pastas or drinks. I also like eating, especially eating out and I will always appreciate a good company for a dinner out, with decent coffee or beer :)
I like playing volleyball, swimming and playing football (as well as watching match).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I played a huge concert with my band on professional scene in the old castle in my city. That was amazing! :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I am open to share my language knowledge. My Polish and English is fluent and my Spanish is somewhere around B2 level.
I will be happy to cook with you :)
normally, I'm not taking my guitar with me for the trips (because it's too big to fit in my bag), but if you have one and want to play along or you will visit my home, I am always happy to play some music :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

my positive energy, million of anegdotes from trips and my country/city, my cooking skills and love of order in the space around me (I won't leave any mess, you can be sure :) )
I am always willing to help you make a team to play volleyball together
and I can teach you Polish/English/Spanish :)
