Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me, Couchsurfing is all about people. I'm here to meet like-minded individuals, share experiences, and make meaningful connections. Occasionally, I also seek out travel companions because adventures are more exhilarating when experienced together. 😊🌍✈️

My other motivation is to explore different ways of living and gain a deeper understanding of the world. So, if you're open to sharing stories and experiences - feel free to reach out! 😄🌍🌟

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, that part of the profile will be a big one, and i hope it will grow exponetially 🤣🤣

1. (2018) Winning a bronze medal at the International Physics Olympiad in Switzerland 🥉. Science olympiad 🔬⚛ not the sport one 😜

2. (2019) I had an epic hitchhiking journey around the Baltic Sea 🚗. I traveled through Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Germany. During this adventure, I took countless photos, climbed abandoned towers and skiing ramps, met wonderful people, hiked along fjords, played frisbee with Finland's National team, and even hitchhiked 950 km in one day to make it to the Woodstock music festival in Poland! 📸🌍🎶

3. (2019) Rocking out at a Nightwish and Decapitated concert! 🤘 Being in the wave and jumping in the pogo 🤘🤘

4. (2019) Going on an unforgettable hike in the Tatras, Poland's tallest mountains, and camping for two days near bears (the cute brown ones, thankfully!) 🐻⛺.

5. (2020) Trekking solo in the Israeli desert for three days. Surviving and camping under the vast, starry desert sky, all while being captivated by the breathtaking landscape. 🌌🏜️

6. (2020 - 2022) Collaborating with some of Poland's top physicists for two years and co-authoring two articles in the fields of 'relativistic quantum information' and 'quantum optomechanics' 🔬⚛.

7. (2021) During a one-month trip to Italy, I experienced some unforgettable moments. I cliff-jumped into the stunning coastal waters, explored a hidden crypt beneath a church in Rome, and even defended my master's thesis in a hotel in Milan! 🇮🇹🌊🏛️

8. (2021) 💼 With zero prior business knowledge, I founded a company that blossomed into a 15-person team.

9. (2022) Hitchhiking from Barcelona to Warsaw in just 52 hours 🚗👍

10. (2022) Volunteering for a month in Ukraine, two months after the town's liberation from Russian occupation 🇺🇦.

11. (2023) Exploring Iceland with my family 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦, witnessing the wonders of nature 🌄, and sharing my love for travel and the beauty of the world with them. We made it back home just two days before a volcano erupted! 🌋🥲🥲🥲
