About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Following the white rabbit!

ABOUT ME

I'm a student (poor student;P, so I'm used to travel by hitchhiking and sleeping wherever) and I luckily became a bachelor in January 2013, but I continue my studies in master's degree.

I am the last of 3 children. Born in Gliwice, in Poland and I still live here. It's not too big town, but also not too small. I love it.

More information is down here, I hope you will enjoy my profil ;)

PHILOSOPHY

„The towns are beautiful, impressive; the panoramas are restful and unrivaled. But nothing grips me so completely that it holds me back from moving ahead. The trail is beautiful enough to keep you going, but no place is so extraordinarily beautiful, no landscape so special that you would want to stay there forever. It is a pathway in the true sense.”

And more shortly:
"Who travels, lives twice!."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I don't have a lot in couchsurfing yet because I'm still a beginner - but I belive that every year in my life provides me many great opportunities to meet new people, visit new places, develop my worldview and get new experiences ;)

Hosted:
1. Owen Brown (UK) - October, 2011.

Surfed:
1. Owen Brown (in Norge) - July, 2011.

That's funny: Owen was my first host and surfer. He's a great guy! ;D

Interests

I love singing, which is why I am an active member of choir since my mature exam. It gave me a lot
of experience in working with a group of people, because I spent a lot of time on common rehearsals and competitions. It taught me diligence and how to fight
stress. I can connect this with travelling, becasue there is a lot of choir competitions - in Poland and abroad.

I also like bikes. Cycling makes me free and open-minded. Every bike trip is a kind of challenge, when I could check myself and find a truth about me. I have
cycled thousands of kilometers already around my country and just a little abroad, in Norge.

Learning foreign languages. That provides a lot of fun and there is something mysterious about learning and being able to communicate in a new language. This hole story about the Tower of Babel...
