About Me

I'm a lifelong resident of Wrocław, Poland - born and bred here. I have my own company, I teach Spanish language. And also during the last three years I did office work as an IT Specialist.

My biggest dream always was to travel to South America. As I have already achieve this goal, I spend five months cycling through Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Bolivia and Paraguay, I am happy to enjoy me home life and to receive travels.

I was always attracted by other cultures and languages. Unfortunately, at the moment, I do not have much time to learn new language. However, I am fluent in Spanish and English and I will not miss opportunity to practise a little bit of my French, Portuguese or Catalan. I hope that our meeting give us an opportunity to learn something new from each other.

I like to spend my free time on the fresh air surround by nature. I enjoy doing active leisure as juggling, swimming, riding a bicycle, hiking or climbing. In spite of this, I appreciate the time which I spend with other people at home, cooking and eating together. Let's see if we have a chance to try some delicious dishes!

As for my personality, I am rather optimistic and emotional person with quiet rational way of seeing the world. So from time to time I feel as it gets me confuse. However, I do my best to keep the harmony ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because thanks to CS I had an opportunity to visited and get to know many unforgettable places. Those places where distinguished for me just because I met people who showed my the world from their perspective. And because I met a lot of wonderful and helpful people from all across the world who were able to share with me their time, home and the way of thinking.

Interests

When I am on the way I like to get to know the place where I am. Explore a culture, speak with a people and try to get a little bit of their language.

I prefer rather to go to the market place then to the discotheque; and the forest and nature then big crowded cities. However, in big cities there are also things to get to know :)

I am from Poland but I am not really found of alcohol. However, the glass of wine or beer with the delicious dinner I will not refuse :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I learn Spanish language and now I work as a Teacher.

In 2011 I discovered a new way to travel, on the bicycle - so I decided to go from Poland to Turkey. Two and half month on the way, almost 3.500km.

Then in 2015/2016 another cycling trip. This time half a year on a bicycle in South America: Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Bolivia and Paraguay. There is link to the blog. Unfortunately, only in Polish language: https://ksiazeknaurlopie.wordpress.com/

I have climbed Huayna Potosi in Bolivia, 6000m mountain. Absolutely extraordinary experience!

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to improve my language skills and I'd love to learn new languages because I believe that language influences the way of thinking and of seeing the world.
