I enjoy friendship, beauty, coffee, healthy lifestyle, creating things, exploring the unknown and physical activity, i.e. finding new reasons to get all sweaty, dirty, tired and generally fulfilled.

I do not enjoy beaten paths, crowds, noise, conventionality, tourist must-sees and wearing masks and small talk.

I'm not a believer, but I like to feel as if I'm touching something greater. Like by the lake at night. Or when you look at the starlit sky. Or when you're high on endorphines because of intense physical exercise. Or have a really passionate conversation. Or when you find ruins and abandoned places. Or when you travel by an oldschool shaky train and you're not sure if you'll make it alive.

Well, at least that works for me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Was that field created so that everyone can repeat the same cliché? :)

It's a cool experience. You meet locals. You talk. Sometimes you hang out. You have company. They have company. You exchange perspectives and experiences. I think that's pretty valuable.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

As a 7 or 8 year old I won a drawing contest with my really shitty drawing and got tamagotchi as a a prize

I'm being serious

Teach, Learn, Share

If you're in Wrocław, let's go cycling. I have 3 bicycles and know some good routes. If you're not into cycling, let's go hiking. I know nice hiking spots in the region.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach you about photography. I can make you pictures.

I'm not the type of person who will just crash your place just to get free accomodation. I'm into interaction. Of course I'd like to spend some time just sightseeing, but I think the time you spend with people is more valuable.
