About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Satisfy my curiosity.

ABOUT ME
I've been living in Spain over 2 years. One year in Catalonia and one year in Andalusia. It was amazing journey into another culture which changed me forever. In theory it was university exchange program but it gave much more that another language on diploma. I fell in love with the country and with the people I met. I came back to Poland 2 months ago but can't stop thinking about next trips.
I love CS because it's the best way to meet extraordinary people. And I'm looking for any possibility to see new places. I'm totally non problematic person and can adapt to every situation. Usually pretty organized and pretty sarcastic. I met few of my really good friends on this website and we still have contact and visit each other after years. I hitchhiked around southern Europe and I can talk for hours about all this adventures and people I met on my way. I would host always when my living conditions let me do this!
Currently just came back from 5 weeks trip through California, Nevada, Utah and Arizona! I visit main CS office in San Francisco and def had time of my life. Couchsuring community is huge and amazing.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything is possible when someone really want. I believe that people are good.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I read somewhere about this idea, tried and never regret.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed many times, host many times and meet with couchsurfers as a local. Thanks of this site I met only helpful, interesting and really kind people. Maybe I'm lucky- who knows, but I think that here much more there is a chance to meet this kind of people :)
