About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel the world

ABOUT ME

Some time ago I set off for the journey of my life. I spent the whole year travelling around the world. Throughout this time I met a lot of incredible people who opened their homes to me. I surfed their couches, exchanged my thoughts and music with them, learned about their culture and everyday lives, and I had so much fun while doing all of that. It was a truly amazing experience and one of the highlights of my trip.
Now I'm back home and I've settled down in Warsaw. Well, at least for a while. Then I'll see where I'll go next... In the meantime, I would like to meet Couchsurfers at my place and to be their host. So, if you happen to be around, don't hesitate to drop me a message :)

PHILOSOPHY

I search for inspiration in everyday life while meeting and interacting with people and experiencing different cultures and attitudes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived for a year and a half on Aran Islands, Ireland. Breathtaking, remote, magic... It's one of the most amazing places I've ever been to.

Teach, Learn, Share

Might show you how to prepare nice vegetarian meals (always willing to improve my skills in this area, too:)).
