CURRENT MISSION

"If you cannot see GOD in all, you cannot see GOD at all". Being true to this personal philosophy, I really want to explore new worlds, meet wonderful people, learn from them, share experiences/joy/love which makes life worth living!

ABOUT ME

Stranger: Who are you?

B: Who? Who is but the form following the function of what and what I am is a man in a search of himself.

Stranger: Well I can see that.

B: Of course you can. I'm not questioning your powers of observation I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a self-seeking man - who he is?

Stranger: Oh. Right.

B: But on this most auspicious of times, permit me then, in lieu of the more commonplace sobriquet, to suggest the character of this dramatis persona.

B: Behold the bruised, baffled badgered but not beaten brat bent upon a bitter fight with the bellicose being of his brain's material desires. The backbone of his strength against this breaking ordeal is borrowed from the desire of bearing bare the benign, but the most powerful, insight from the bosom of his heart -€œ the meaning of it all, the reason of his Being!

The path is not the brow beaten track but a bleak strip of back bending climb with boulders, bogs bordered with blooming bacciferous shrubs, petals of deceptive benign beauty: for the nectar they bear is but brown brackish boiling broth. But still braving on, hell bent to beat the odds, to reach within the beaming lights of Babylon.

(small chuckle)

Blatantly, this barrage of words is but like bogus blabber, so just let me get back to brevity and simply add that it's my very good honour to meet you and you may call me B.

Stranger: Are you like a crazy person?

B: I am quite sure they will say so.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

There is so much to the world out there - which I want to see, to experience, to learn from, make my own little difference to. CSing is that gem of an idea which helps a normal bloke like me, to go around and meet up with normal people – living in their busy lives, yet sharing open their heart and lives for that small period of time (and I really appreciate them for that). It gives me a chance to see how people from different parts of the world live, their daily struggles, and I get to learn a lot from their different perspectives/attitudes towards life.

CS has been one of the best finds of my life, seriously.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Though not hosting as much as I would like, I have hosted a couple of times and ended up being quite good friends with them.

I have surfed couches in Budapest & Slovenia, it was just a wonderful experience – my hosts were extremely nice and I met with real nice company of other CSers, and we all went along exploring the city together. We cooked together in the evenings food together...it was really good fun!!

All this while, I have been regular member of the Krakow CS group and have met a lot of wonderful people from all over the world and made a lot of good friends – going to all the local CS events/gathering.
