Hello world! I'm Karol, born and raised in Poland, living and traveling the world. By profession, I'm a data scientist, by passion - traveler, cyclist, linguist. I consider myself and easy going, open person. I'm sociable and enjoy good chat and drink, though heavy party is not my thing. I love exploring cities, getting to know peeople, trying to understand different traditions, ways of thinking and living. I'm a terrible cook but I'm always happy to grab a beer.

CURRENT MISSION

be happy :)

PHILOSOPHY

not 100% personal, but of W.J. Bryan and personalized by me :)
Destiny is not a metter of chance, is a matter of choice, is not a thing to be waited for, is a thing to be achieved.

Life is like riding a bike, in order to keep your equilibrium you have to keep going.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hosting as much as possible.
Surfing whenever I can.
Getting inspired from amazing people I meet.
Trying to give inspiration by myself.
Helping whenever I can help.
Learning, teaching, sharing.

Couch surfing has given me a lot of opportunities to meet great people, make friends, learn and understand a lot. Couch surfers whom I've met have showed me their homes, their lives, introduced me to their families and friends and made me feel home.

Me myself I'm trying as much as possible to pay back at least part of hospitality and help I have experienced from people I've met on CS. For sure I can say that couch surfing has made me a better man.

EVERY CS experience was a good experience, some of them I will never forget.
As far as I'm concerned the best parts of Couch Surfing are gaining faith and trust in people as well as unexpected meeting new INSPIRATIONS!!!
