Overview
About Me
A traveler that only requires a backpack and a guitar. Buuut currently trying to make a living.
I'm a Polish Scout, spending a big part of my spare time taking care of kids that want something more in life than to sit in front of a computer.
I spent almost 11 years living in England, but my dream was to come back to my homeland, Poland. This year I achieved this goal. I'm currently trying to settle in and I'm renovate my parents house, so I have a place to live. I have 3 roommates, but they are cool ;)
I always wanted to work with children, so I'm studying pedagogy and resocialization. I volunteer with disabled children.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Because a couch is much more comfortable than the pavement :P I don't mind travelling in hard conditions but sightseeing and being a tourist is more convenient when you don't have to worry about where you're going to sleep.
And now when I have a place to offer I want to meet other people, with the same passion. I'm proud of my city, I want travellers to enjoy it as much as possible, so I want you to have a nice stay in Warsaw.
Interests
People! Everyone is different and everyone has an amazing story to tell. I know it might sound sad or weird but sometimes I just enjoy to look at people.
Apart from that I enjoy almost all kind of sports and music. I play guitar, ukulele, melodica, anything that I can get my hands on.

Music, Movies, and Books
All time favourite musician is probably Pablopavo. Great guy from my city, with lyrics so true and so Warsaw that sometimes I think he writes them specially for me. Pora Wiatru, best country and poetic band I have ever heard!
I'm a big fan of Christopher Nolan, hence my 3 most favourite movies are, Memento, Prestige and Dark Knight.
I read a lot, but probably more than reading I love finding a new book. There are a lot of places in Warsaw where you can buy old books, i love them. But the 3 books which had the biggest impact on me are ''The Greatest of Pierrots'' by a Czech author Frantisek Kozik, Hungarian book ''The Paul Street Boys'' and the depressing ''Catcher in the Rye'' by J.D Salinger.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Travel for a month with no money and only a guitar. I lived of playing guitar on the street and whatever I had left I gave away to homeless people in exchange for their stories.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can play tou a song on my guitar, or write a song for you. Or even better if we would write it together. And I can teach you how they make Cheesburgers in McDonalds :P
What I would expect from travellers? That they would not be closed to conversation. I would like to learn at least one of your great stories ;)
What I Can Share with Hosts
My positive attitude, many interesting stories and if you want we can look for the meaning of life together.
