About Me

PHILOSOPHY

Witkacy's words: 'It's better to die in beautiful insanity then in a dreary, dull triviality and marasmus'.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first CouchSurfing experiences are very positive! I met amazing people. They were all so helpful! It may sound a litle pathetic, but thanks to CouchSurfing you can get the believe in people. You trust the stragers, and strangers trust you, and you are never dissapointed! It is amazing that people who can see you for the first time in their lives are ready to help you. And it's not only people that you are sleeping at. While I was travelling through the United States I could meet people who just offerred me to show the city around or drink a coffee and have a nice chat. It made me feel like I was at home.

Interests

If only I could understand biochemistry or atomic physisc - I would be interested of those. Everything interests me. The main points of interests are of course things that I'm doing in my life - literature and travels. Travel to get to know the culture, the art, the human's work but also to escape from human's work to pure nature, to its calm and space.
