About Me

I'm a person of many interests. I like trying new things. And I very much enjoy meeting new people - and different cultures :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Basically to meet people, share experiences, learn. When I travel I love to immerse in the reality of the place I visit. And what I like most about it is to compare mindsets :) to see how people live, how differently we think, feel, communicate. Basically - to learn, breathe, soak up everything that I can about the country, people, and culture!

Interests

Keen on travelling, sports and literature. I rest from the hustle and bustle of the city in the nature.

  • literature
  • dancing
  • hiking
  • sports
  • history
  • journalism
  • psychology
  • science
  • mountains
  • travelling
  • nature
  • trekking
  • circus
  • documentary
  • climbing
  • acrobatics
  • local culture
  • reportage

Music, Movies, and Books

"Heart of Darkness" Joseph Conrad - eye-opening
"Nights in the Circus" Angela Carter - mind-blowing!
"Into Thin Air" Jon Krakauer - striking and intense, especially if you are a mountain lover
"Droga 816" Michał Książek - unprecedented union of reportage and poetry

... and many more :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Star-gazing when on Baltic Sea, when the sky was everywhere: above, below; all around

Teach, Learn, Share

I will be happy to walk you around my dear Warsaw (I'm a tour guide in free time) - especially if you want to know more about the city and/or about Polish culture & history :) or if you just wanna know where to hang out!
