Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hosting travelers at my home is an amazing way to meet new people, learn about their cultures, make new contacts and just spread kindness. It's just sad to see the guest room with no guests, come on, that's what it's for. Gratitude on people's faces is the best reward I can ask for.

Of course I happen to travel from time to time, turning into a guest from a host, exploring new place while staying with locals is unarguably fun and interesting!

•cycling - I cycle to school every single day

Music, Movies, and Books

•Music - I'm gonna shock you but I don't listen to music. I simply don't need it, I enjoy silence, I'm not afraid of it.
•Movies - Borat, Dictator (yeah, I'm fan of Sacha Cohen), Star Wars, Dzień Świra (it's a polish one), Świat według Kiepskich (polish as well), The Walking Dead, Breaking Bad, MOOSE congratulations if you got to this point, you can let me know by pasting this word somewhere in your message.
•Books - I don't have my favorite book yet, when I finish reading a book I just put it back on the shelf, return to library or delete from my kindle and that's it, I'm don't attach myself to any books. I usually read documentaries, diaries, National Geographic and Układ Sił (geopolitics)
