CURRENT MISSION

Trying to stay in touch with the travellers world

ABOUT ME

I'm a person of many interests, so it's easy for me to find some common hobby with almost anyone.

I'm very open-minded, always willing to learn something new, make new experiences and friends, craving for more from life.

I believe that anything can be done, you just have to want it bad enough and put your heart into it.

I'm a simple person walking through life guided by set of few basic rules I never break.

I absolutely hate and despise lies, dishonesty, ignorance and hypocrisy.

I'm very sarcastic or even cynical. I do enjoy dark humor. I'm also on the eternal and ruthless crusade against all stupidity and ignorance.

PHILOSOPHY

Live fast, as you were not afraid of anything. Make a lot of experiences. Learn new things. Push a little bit harder, a little bit further. Enjoy what you do. Have a clear purpose in life. Have dreams and do everything to fulfill them. And constantly ask yourself a question when was the last time you did something for the first time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm spreading the word about Couch Surfing all the time. Bunch of people created accounts and started participating because of my stories!

Camping alone on Sahara and Atacama deserts
Sailing across Atlantic Ocean for a month on a 12-meters long boat
Seeing wild whales and dolphins in the middle of an ocean
Biking for over a week in the mountains on Atacama desert
Climbing an over 6000 meters (20.000 feet) technical mountain without any guide and very little experience
Hitchhiking over 80.000 kilometers across 18 countries, 3 continents and one ocean (so far).

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn how to surf.

I can teach you basics of Polish or German, some outdoor and bushcraft basics and (if we have place and equpment for it) how to climb and snowboard.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I actually love to help around like fixing stuff (if something stopped working, I can probably fix it) and doing dishes. I always do the dishes and keep entire kitchen clean.
