About Me

## CURRENTLY TRAVELLING MYSELF THROUGH CANADA, NOT ACCEPTING ;)

Hey, I am Kuba, forever young traveller from Europe, dreamer by mind, wanderer by heart and nature lover by soul. Approaching the milestone in my life few years ago, I realized that being at one place for good, doing office work or building a career lead to a dead-end and don't meet my values. I make my efforts to meet more interesting and inspiring people, make friends, broaden my horizons and learn new skills from others.

I see myself to be calm, open-minded, friendly, honest, responsible and reliable, hardworking, persistent (sometimes even stubborn), thoughtful, modest, quite adaptable, practical, introvert, melancholic, romantic & adventurous :-) I'm sceptical person, trying to be as much possitive as I can, but fail sometimes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Firstly, it was just a curiousness years ago, then I tried to spend several days in someone's home and I really enjoied the experience. Great idea which aims to get people together and brings a chance to meet new people, make friends, feel different cultures and travel regardless of money.

Interests

I like mountain biking, hiking, canoeing, outdoor swimming, board games and reading. Love travelling & nature photography. I'm interested in new technologies, nature, personal finance and retail investing.
