ABOUT ME

OK then - it's been some time since I set up an account here, some things have changed and I gained some more CS experience, so it's time to update this brief summary.

so - what I am mostly trying to do with my life recently (let's say from end of 2010) is travelling. I don't have any special purpose with that, not a kind of sights explorer or crazy all-time-partying flashpacker. the essence for beeing in a different place for me is to find an alley that will treat me with a mood for a strong coffee and (sometimes) a cigarette, just sit and enjoy - that's it. I also truly enjoy hostel communities and socializing in common rooms :-)

usually I travel on a really low budget, and when I say low, it must be the meaning then. it's not the lifestyle obviously (but it may start to be when you do it too often), I just prefer to spend 6 months instead of 3 on the road. of course, I'm not pushing my limits as you think some people might do it - if I want to have an example beer, I have one - just choose a place where it doesn't cost double.

happily, I can do some travel-related job as well - to work on the guidebooks for a polish publishing house. updating and writing is what I do every summer since 2011 - both in the field and stationery. job of dreams - one would say. well, yes. a huge disadvantage is its project character though - no steady income for all year round.

I'm the type that likes to talk and am pretty fluent in English - just keep forgetting the vocabulary somewhere between 3rd and 4th beer ;-) unfortunately, if you want to talk about black and white polish music comedies produced between 1973 and 1975 (or similar) - I won't be the most sophisticated partner for such conversations. I think I'm more like a regular type.

I try to live just month after month, not thinking about the future too much - don't really know if it's worth it. a bit spontaneous and a bit of thinker - sometimes plan but sometimes wing it ;-)

PHILOSOPHY

there is this polish song by Myslovitz band - kilka uścisków, kilka snów (literally: a couple of hugs, a couple of dreams). there's a wonderful line to follow in the lyrics (will probably sounds cliche when translated).

to love everything, because everything is elapsing quickly

so - worth trying.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed couches in Turkey, India, Poland and Ukraine. there were also plenty of CS members that were keeping me company for an evening out - besides above mentioned, it happened in Serbia and Macedonia.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

South-East Asia backpacking experience, as you always remember your first one mostly.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my travel experience, which is fortunately getting bigger every recent year.

I have some good travel planning skills, so if you want to go somewhere, I can help with finding cheap plane tickets etc.

If you want to learn polish, which is said to be one of the most difficult languages currently existing, can also help a bit ;-)
