I like the smell of earth, the touch of waves, the taste of berries, the sight of trees, the sound of laughter and the feeling of being fully alive.

Favourite quote?
May the bridges I burn light my way.

When I say I want to travel I don’t mean I want to stay at resorts and go on tours with tour guides or buy key chains from souvenir shops. I don’t want to be a tourist. When I say I want to travel I mean I want to explore another country and become part of it. I want to discover small coffee shops in Germany and Italy and France. I want to walk on beaches in Australia and browse the book stores of England. I want to hike the Great Wall of China and go cliff diving in Hawaii I want to meet people who are not like me, but people who I can like all the same. I want to take pictures of things and places and people I meet. I want my mind to be in constant awe of life on earth. I want to see things with new eyes. I want to look at a map and be able to remember how I was transformed by the places I’ve been to the things I’ve seen and the people I’ve met. I want to come home and realize that I have not come home whole but have left a piece of my heart in each place I have been. This, I think, is what is at the heart of Adventure and this is why I plan on making my life one.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to explore world not only from my point of view, I want to know new perspectives. I want to meet as much people as it's possible. They say, every human you meet influences you in some way....
Too bad I can't be a host, because I live with my family and I don't have enough space.

Interests

I'm a professional badminton player, I play since I was 7 years old. I love traveling, films and history. I'm a Catholic and my bucket list mostly consists visiting Christian historical treasures, but I'm open to know other religions. When I travel to some place I want to know everything about it, including national history but local history as well. I love cats!

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to everything from classical music like Saint-Saens and Prokofiev to 80's rock music (I'm big fan of Prince!).
When it comes to movies, there's one thing I'm proud of - I have watched Back to the Future 27 times! It never gets me bored. Also I really like Tarantino's movies, Star Wars and films with John Travolta.
When I was in high school I had humanities specialization, so books are very important part in my life. My favourite author is Alexander Dumas (big fan of "The Count of Monte Christo" and "Three Musketeers"), but also I really like "One Hundred Years of Solitude" and "Love in the Time of Cholera" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Shakespear's playwrights.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Experience! I can teach you Polish or tell you about polish culture and history. I think I can be also a pretty good badminton coach ;)
