CURRENT MISSION

“The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.”

ABOUT ME

A beginner travel blogger (muzungutravel.com) and photographer.

In love with the Middle East and Africa, finished Oriental and Arabic studies in Poland.

Open-minded, easy-going, know how to make people laugh ;-)

PHILOSOPHY

"All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible.''

T.E. Lawrence, Seven Pillars of Wisdom

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Balancing on the edge of the precipice in the lebanese mountains while seating and screaming in a big truck transporting drebis.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you a few Arabic or Polish words, make a turkish coffee, cook a polish meal (have you heard about Pierogi, hmm?) and tell you one of The Stories from the Thousand and One Nights. Should be Polish enough!

When I couchsurf, it's to meet people, hang out, share, enjoy and not to spend a free night in their apartment. It's the experience which counts the most!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love animals. Dogs are especially close to my heart, so do not feel neglected if I pay more attention to your little friend than to my proper host !

I love cooking, especially Polish traditional stuff, so it's not so hard to make me do something.
