About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Hello :)

I am calm person, who is discovering the life, its shadows and beauties. I like doing new, interesting things, having new expariances. I like talking about life.

If you want to stay with me - I live in a Dąbrowa Górnicza - although this is not a big city, you can find here really nice activities to do like sailing, swimming in lakes or have fun in Aqua Park, cycling, playing tennis, going to a disco.
It is near to Kraków (2 hours) or Katowice (30 min).

PHILOSOPHY

'Our deepest emotion, respect and love for ourselves, and the knowledge about ourselves reveals in a presence of a person, who accept us fully.'

Joseph Zinker

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Till now I didn't have opportunity to host anyone. But my brother (who lives with me) had some, and I also spend time with his guests. I really enjoed that.
I was hosted only once and it was great. I hope that my couch experience will become bigger soon!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was hosted 3 times through CS. With my friend Anshu we travelled to Vienna, and we stayed at two places in Italy.

Interests

I like reading books, listening music, watching movies, discussing them, going on concerts, going on some special evenings like poetry evenings, philosphical discussions, lectures.
Mostly I am interested in psychology, particulary- in Gestalt approach. I am a bit into philosophy and buddhism, like to know about differnet religious.
From time to time I like dancing, drawing, painting, I love tennis, I do skiing and snowboarding during winter or cycling on summer.
I like travelling and I'd like to see much more places in my life.
