ABOUT ME

I grew up in Szczecin, Poland until I was 18. Right now I live in Copenhagen, Denmark where I am currently working as Project Manager. I love to travel and meet new cultures/people this is also how i usually spend my free time. I am also enjoying riding my motorcycle which gives full freedom while riding.

This year - together with my mate Piotr - I decided to go for motorcycle Road trip across USA, trying to explore this huge country - its nature/culture/food/entertainment and all other things USA has to offer.

YOU can be a part of this experience by showing us around/hosting or simply exchanging positive vibes. We would be very thankful for the help given during our three months-long ride across USA.

------- About the Road trip USA 13' Project -----
I've been traveling quite a bit around the world, but each time it was something short-term. After finishing my studies i wanted to go for something different. At this point on time my good friend Piotr came back from his long-term trip around Asia... and he wanted to continue his trip. We had common interest - motorcycles, which lead us to the point that we can do the trip, on the motorcycles together. There is only one place which comes to your mind when you call such words as "roadtrip" - USA. Not long after we were equipped with positive energy, plane tickets and initial route... we did not set any boundaries for ourselves. Our main goal was to: explore, meet people and see places. In order to make this statement complete, help of local people like YOU is needed. YOU are the one knowing your area best, show us your favorite spots, share your positive vibes!

Below you can find some facts about the trip:

Initial route:
Boston - Philadelphia - Baltimore - Washington DC - Savannah - Atlanta - Jacksonville - New Orleans - Houston - Phoenix - Las Vegas - LA - San Francisco - Honolulu

Duration: 3 months
Distance: ca. 18.000 km/ 11200 miles
Transportation: Motorcycles
Budget: Student :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have found out CS from one of my classmates. She was fascinated about it so I decided to join. I am very happy because of that.

So far i just have great experience with CS, and it's community! It is a pleasure to be a part of such great group of people, sharing same interests.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In 2007 I have visited Sweden and my first host person was Erika from Stockholm. My first impression was very positive. She was a very competent person and gave us a lot of helpful advices.
Also in 2007 I have visited Norway. Our host person was Soumitra . I am really glad that he decided to host us even it was our emergency moment to find something in Oslo. He was a person who knows everything about Oslo and is having a rich knowledge about Bollywood- I am still amazed how complicated and big it is!:)

CS experience will continue in year 2013. Be a part of it...
