CURRENT MISSION

Travel is the best teacher

ABOUT ME

Some of my friends used to say that I'm like a cat: free, gadabout and walking on my own ways :). What is the most important: travelling is my life. Yeah, I know that it's not very original sentence, but I must say that I'm quite addicted to moving. Usually I travel around Poland, but since Erasmus in Latvia I opened for Europe. I have luck to work in tourism as a city guide and tour leader, so that I can earn money in my beloved way :)
But... what else about me? I am very calm and polite person. I prefer sightseeing and understanding everything around me than party. I take a lot of photos because photography is my hobby. Well I must say that I'm quite artistic person, I'm taking photos, drawing, writing... But responsible, don't worry ;)

PHILOSOPHY

Well, it's quite hard topic to describe. The most important thing: leave with everyone in peace, as far as it possible. I don't get on well with rude and easily getting angry people. I believe that mostly every problem can be solute without yelling, screaming and arguing. I'm trying to be always polite to everyone, because this shows personal culture. I also try to be optimistic, believe that people are good and when you are giving smile to them, they give you back their smiles.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Visiting countries without meeting another people is like visiting zoo: you see world from the glass without touching it. Thanks to CS I can talk with inhabitants and understand they way of thinking. I love to ask many questions about living and it's fantastic that I could hear it from authentic people - not from the guide books. Unfortunately I can't give any place to sleep, but as I am city guide I can show you the city in the way that you will understand way of thinking, history of Poznań and Poland.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've meet fantastic people thanks to CS. My first experience wasn't very good, however now it's just fantastic. I travelled in Norway, Germany, Austria and Scotland with CS and it's one of the best life experiences I've ever had! :)

Interests

I've already described my biggest interest: travelling. Now I will tell something more about others :)
Well, I have other, more weird interest: dragons. I'm crazy about legends about them, films, games etc. But do not worry, I won't roar on you and fly away ;). Maybe if you are a virgin... (just joking ;))
I'm quite artistic person. I draw, photograph, write... But of course in very amateur way, so don't expect fantastic stuff ;). I do it for fun.
