About Me

GLOBAL MISSION
To live life to the fullest in every stage of it. Because life is worth living as long as there is something to discover, something to learn, something to share, something to dream of.
CURRENT MISSION
To develop and organize well enough my business in order to be able to travel more and for longer. To finish renovating my house (since I do mostly by myself it takes a lot of time and energy) to able to host travelers from around the world.

ABOUT ME
Born in Poland , living in France, moving in the future to a totally different place - who nows... The more I travel (couple of weeks each year since the nineties), the more I discover new countries, the more I meet different people, the more I’m convinced that we could make the world a great place for all of us provided we learn from each others, we accept our differences, we listen to nature, we respect our planet. « You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will be as one »….

PHILOSOPHY
The sun rises even after the darkest night, where there is a will there is always a way.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Great idea and experience which allowed me to cross the way of many interesting people, some of them really amazing. Isn’t it the the best way to get to know a new country by meeting locals and sharing their space ? Till now I only surfed, but I hope beeing able soon to host as well.
