ABOUT ME

I can't stay in one place too long. Constant movement is giving me the energy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I'm travelling I'm always trying to choose CS. Some people are asking me 'Why are u not staying in the hotel while you are travelling?' I don't even know what to answer... The difference between couchsurfing and staying in the hotel is enormous. It's like being in exotic country and reading a book about exotic country. CS is a real experience, immersion into the culture, getting to know people and lifestyles, exchanging ideas.

When I have possibility I also host in my flat. Till now I hosted only once, though. When I'm in Germany I usually work really much so I don't even have enough time to take care about surfers. When I'm in Poland I have more time (I study there) but there are not that many people interested in coming to small East European city I'm coming from:)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed in Denmark and in Morocco. I hosted in my flat in Munich.

Interests
