About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to use my life as best as I can. I don't want to look at people waisting their lifes doing nothing. I want to do SOMETHING. What? Living real life and make new friendships!

ABOUT ME

complicated mind. Once I was bitten by a travel bug. I love it and I can't stop. When I'm too long in one place I feel some kind of pressure in my body that can't let me to stay there any longer. I need to take a long walk, to go somewhere just for a few days but leave the place that I'm in.

Addicted to photography. TOTALLY. I started when I was 16 I think. I borrowed reflex camera from my friend and I felt in love with it... Then I got digital SLR from my parents and it's still with me even if it's not new and proffesional it makes good pictures. I love taking pictures of everything. But hate when somebody make a picture of me... Feel the same?

I've been writting in student's magazine since 2010. At first I was photoeditor and journalist but then I resigned from photoediting (I hate working with those who don't respect my work). It was just a hobby for me, I don't feel it could be my work in the future. I'm dreaming about becoming an interior designer. I love design and everything what is connected with it.

I was Erasmus student in Crete - Rethymno. I run a blog from my stay there. It's in polish (I've tried to write in english also but I had so little time there to write anything so I resigned, I'm sorry!) but I have a lot of pictures there, so you can taste a bit of heaven !

Now I'm trying to live somehow in Kraków. It's hard right now when I changed my lifestyle compleltey. Nobody can understand that and I don't want anybody to try. It's not easy to switch off memories and come back to the routine, that is why I want to explore Kraków with Couchsurfers from the beggining, and feel excited about its beauty like I see it for the first time in my life. Works ;)

Places I visited in Europe:

PHILOSOPHY

"Live your life with no regrets, take risks, take chances, take your mistakes as precious life lessons and use them to your advantage. We are only here for a short time. So raise a little hell, have some fun. Do the things you love and dream of doing. If you love someone let them know because at any second we could be torn from this world and not get another."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I travel often and I want to meet people and their culture and that is why I think couchsurfing is the best medium to do it! Friendship and memories is all what is left when everything elase is gone. Well, there is one thing more - good food. Oh God, yes... Food... Ohh.... MMMM...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met amazing people who had beautiful stories of their lifes. This time we share with each other is a beautiful lesson of friendships that can start from here.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books - I love Hemingway and Dostojewski, but most of all I'm addicted (yes, I AM ADDICTED) to Marek Hłasko, who is a polish writter. His stories are all I need to have when I want to get to the point of the life. They're sad, sometimes cruel, but show a great truth about the human being. Try, you won't regeret.

Movies - well, I love those made in '90, like: Fight Club, Scarface, Leon the Proffesional, The Green Mile, Scent of a Woman; Girl, Interrupted. What is more - The Godfather, Vinci, Jasminum. There is more of course. Movies need to touch the soul, that's the rule.

Music - I like quality and value. I don't close myself in one kind of music. I let myself to choose what I like.

too many. Let's drink something and talk about it ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was erasmus student and I remember the first step in Crete that I made at the airport and I realised I have nothing and nobody there. I didn't have any accomodation, any friends, any idea how my next months will look like. I didn't have any expectations. I wanted to take this 10 months as they come to me. I did it, and it was the most valuable time for me that I ever could have. And I still have the smell of this sea, the image of the smiles of the people I met and all this beautiful moments I could experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'll show you places which recent toursit will never see in Kraków.
I'll take you to eat where you can always find fresh and good food and not overpriced.
And I'll try to be a good listener. Tell me to shut up sometimes because I may talk too much.

Full of laugh, quality time with a girl who is hungry for new emotions about travelling !
