About Me

Hey everybody,
I am 19 years old IT student from Poland. I love travelling to new places and exploring the world. I'm interested in other cultures, especially far East. I train Aikido and Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto Ryu - the oldest japanese martial art. I'm crazy when it comes to bikes - I live riding, repairing it or just disassembling it just for fun.
I'm not really a party guy, I don't like going to clubs etc. but I like talking with people or having a drink together (I'm a fan of beer :D).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to explore the world and learn about other cultures and countries. Couchsurfing is also an opportunity to meet new people and make friends. There are many places around the world you wouldn't even notice while travelling alone without any contact with local people, such places can be really beautiful and great and I think CS is a great chance to learn about such things and explore cities and other places in a different way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've ridden over 120 km a bike one day - this wouldn't be amazing if it was road bike, but it was mountain bike and I think that when it comes to a normal person it is a great thing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can tell you a lot when it comes to martial arts, especially japanese. If there is anything you are curious about don't hesitate to ask me :) I can even teach you a little bit of japanese if you want

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share experience from my travels. I can teach about culture of my country. If you want to learn a little bit of polish - one of the most difficult languages - no problem. I can also fix your bike if you need such a service :)
