About Me

CURRENT MISSION

survive in south america ! aiii carambaaa ! :)

ABOUT ME

Well, to most people this is the hardest part, but I have never had problems with it since I can only think of positive things about me :) People say that you should ask others what they think about you, but I think I can at least list things I like to do and this will probably tell you something about me. I LOVE MUSIC, it is so meaningful, it can describe various feelings, situations, states of mind and influence people more than any other piece of art i guess (my favourite music is from the 60's and the flower kids era, psychedelic sounds, woodstock artists, rock'n'roll and generally everything that comes to my ear, im open for any kind of music, except i don't really like pop music and techno...), I LOVE laughing and acting crazy, making people laugh with me and laugh at me :) I love sweets and chocolate.. sometimes I like to think of life and consider various philosophical aspects, some other times I know life is only here and now.. I love to travel and have different unexpected adventures, to meet various people from all over the world and different cultures, making friends , having a chat, .. I love skateboarding and surfing as a way of expressing oneself and kind of finding freedom and abandoning my mind and also just having a nice time, but lately I had several problems with my ankle(s)... I also like to paint some crazy and non-profesional paintings, but not always do I have time for it.. YYEAAAHH i think i could keep on writing but thats enough hehehe in general im a very positive and open person !!! :)

PHILOSOPHY

Time is a relative concept..,
It´s ALL in your head,
Life is a book, that´s why I want to write one :) ,
Think positive !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I used to host lots of people when I lived on my own in Spain and I enjoyed it so much !! The rest of time I was working abroad or living with my family in Poland so I could not take much advantage of cs.. :( I surfed a lot of couches durring my journeys, huge hi5! to all my hosts, everybody was simply amusing !

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Through hosting and surfing met people from all over the world, so many good experiences and good lessons ! This a whole new point of view ! there are no boarders ! Somehow it is good in the same way as hitchhiking is ! :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I barely watch any movies, but I would like to see some good ones, maybe we can watch something together ? I love Matt Groening's series (the simpsons, futurama etc.)

Music - all kinds, starting with my eager love to rocknroll, 60' 70' woodstock and so on, funk, blues, through rythm music, samba, rumba, raegge, rockabilly, to aborigenal, roots music, symphony, flamenco etc... almost everything ! I do not really enjoy metal or hardcore music but that's just a matter of taste.

Books - psychological, adventure, musician biographies,
