About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live in the moment. Learn from the past. Dream for the future.

ABOUT ME

Telling all about yourself sounds like a lot, I rather do that over some coffee or beer, but I can give you some hints..

I'm a PhD student at the University of Manchester but currently living in France and staying in the business school INSEAD. Studies give me a great flexibility and opportunity to travel. I always try to combine my work with entertainment. As a researcher I'm exploring my particular topic, digging and digging.. but what I love to do the most is to explore the world.

I like meeting people who have stories to tell. That's why I really appreciate CouchSurfing. It gives us the chance to meet each other and share stories about the places we all have been. My story with CS has started during my study in Portugal. It was crazy time, full of unforgettable experiences! I found out how amazing CS is, travelling with my friend among Portugal, Spain and Maroko. I decided to create my own profile. Then I met more CS-members and got a lot of wonderful memories. Few times I was on CS meeting in Poznan, I love listening to people talking about their travels! It stimulates my imagination :)

Beside travelling, I am interested in new technology, dancing and healthy cooking. Currently I have an obsession about raw juices and pistachios.. yeah! It always make me happy :-)

Love trying new things, although I must say I'm not that brave as I wish to be!.. ;)

PHILOSOPHY

How far we travel in life matters far less than those we meet along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

CS is a great project - makes you closer to somebody who lives in such "different'' world..and then you're talking about the same music, the same movies, you see you're wearing the same pair of jeans;)
World has no borders! (with the respect for particular tradition)
Being a Erasmus student I met an army of CS-s;)...just want to know more and more!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I started my CS experience as just travel companion of my friend who were member of CS. I really liked the idea and decided to also join the CS community. Currently my house is being renovated. I think that it takes max 2 months. I hope to meet many fellow couchsurfers traveling Europe and pay it forward by opening up my couch when my house will be ready :)

Interests

I hope to travel to every corner of earth and meet as many people as possible and hopefully leave a little bit of myself with them.
