ABOUT ME
People call me Europe-Metropolitan. I don't no if that sues me well, but make yourself an opinion. My mother is from Poland, my dad also, but his parents are from Bulgaria and France. I was born and raised in Hamburg, Germany. My dad and brother moved back to Poland. And because my family is immensely important to me, I try to visit them at least once a month and I spend there all my vacations.
My mom and I moved to Berlin, JUST because of the Berlin-Warszawa-Express (highly recommended train, always a wonderful place to meet people from all over the world). And in one year, after I finish my gap year in the jungle of Peru, I will go back to Poland. Because I sincerely try not to speak in stereotypes. I never lived in this amazingly affectionate country, therefore, I want to change it and speak about it as a resident.
Now, I live in Peru for 1 year, approx 10 hours from Lima. I got to now and to love the people and the nature.
About myself: With my 20 years of age, I am still getting to know myself. But generally spoken, it's really difficult to change my good mood. I smile very often and talk fast (well, not in Spanish...) because of the flow of many ideas in my head ... that my mouth needs to speed up to tell the other person what I'm thinking.
PHILOSOPHY
The small things matter most in life. If a person can get happy and enchanted by a tiny wing from a butterfly..., he'll value life most.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I am new in this community, but the idea of it have convinced me, therefore I think that Couchsurfing is one of the best ideas since the invention of light and the internet :-)
Interests
I enjoy eating good... surely, everybody does that. But a good day with good food (I like when food has many flavors: sweet, bitter, herb...) is just complete. Therefore, I like to cook and to bake. Also, I enjoy watching movies, sitting with friends on a bench and just talking, drinking coffee... and enjoy life and it's moments!

Music: depends very much on my mood, but from classic over to jazz, indie and acoustic I like pretty much every genre, the song, the color of the voice and my mood need to fit
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Ah, so much! Very fascinating is the year I am spending here in the jungle of Peru. Beginning with no infrastructure, no roads, the nature and its people as it always has been (well,... internet and TV destroy it). I can't start and stop in this little box :) Just ask me and it will be a pleasure telling you about the magic of Peru :)
Teach, Learn, Share
Always try to give- give as much as you can. And do not take it for granted to received it back from the person you have given and not to receive it immediately back. But it is always a balance of life. Give- and you will receive!
Smile and someday someone will give you a smile when you need it.
Help and someday someone will help you.
