Note: most of what's in the profile has been filled out by me 5-10 years ago. Time flies, no doubt about it. I'll update it when an inspiration strikes. For the time being, what's changed is that I currently live in the capital, Warsaw, I run an e-commerce business online and dabble a bit in co-hosting music secret shows in a wooden Finnish house in the green heart of Warsaw. I attend voice/body workshops on occasion and still have my eyes on performing music one day.
I used to be an active Couchsurfing user around 2011-2015 (see the review section).
I'd be happy to host people I vibe with – let's see where the Couchsurfing scene is at these days! ;).

ABOUT ME

I am rebuilding my life one piece at a time. I want to be more mindful, more open to people, express more gratitude towards whatever's happening to me.
I've recently got back to singing and piano playing, want to throw my first gig ever in a couple of months.
Along with a friend of mine I'm set for a 2-months-long travel around Dubai, Philippines and Australia in the fall of 2015.
I enjoy perfecting languages.

PHILOSOPHY

It's been changing ever since I remember; as for now: your thoughts are just a mere guess on what is - and the only thing you might actually say, is that something is [kudos to Mooji].

I believe in kaizen philosophy (the philosophy of small steps and gaining momentum), because it sounds sane and actually works (if it's proven, what is there to believe then, you might ask?).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host people. I surf.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My guests' credits list (in order of appearance):
Nora (Finland)
Maxim (Germany, befriended :) )
Nate (Dutchland, befriended :) )
Zosia & Irek (Poland)

Interests

talking with people, understanding motives behind people's activity, yoga, singing, jala neti, Python programming, (pop) philosophy, making posters, playing with words in my mother tongue in an enchanting way.
What I find valuable the most is the ability to get into the flow or mindful state and connect with the activity or the person I'm with. I like authenticity of any sort, in these cases even physical pain seems like fun.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've experienced the non-existence of time for - as it occured later - a few hours. It was deep and massively engaging. I suppose it's the ultimate goal of humanity: not to perceive time, but just live instead.
Forgetting a tent on my trip, being a hobo in Andalucia. Sleeping in a pipe in a kids playground in Valencia.
