About Me

Hello there!

I am open minded, cheerful man who is extremely curious about the world and people living around it. I used to study physics but after five years of fruitless studies I dropped out of Uni and am currently having a break to rethink my life plans.

I have full time job in a British company in client service department. In my free time I like to travel, hike in the great outdoors, watch movies & read books (mostly about science but also guidebooks and fiction) and cooking.

I am definitely city dweller but I like to get in touch with nature often. I love mountains and backpacking. I am licensed mountain guide since 2017 and in summer season I work as a tour guide.

I am also interested in foreign languages so you should expect I will try to speak a lot in your native language ;)

I live with my three other friends and Tosia, adorable young kitty, in a cosy flat near downtown of Kraków.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I strongly believe that the best way to know other countries is to meet and get to know local people who can offer exemptional insight into their culture. I have tested this over and over again during my numerous hitchhiking trips.

Aprat from that, as a declared extrovert I enjoy interacting with others as I think that every person is an interesting story to tell and values to share.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In progress of thruhiking all long distance trails in Poland. Three of them done so far, several more to go...

The longest hike so far was 440 km long.

Teach, Learn, Share

Firstly, language exchange. They say that polish is one of the hardest language to learn but while it's mostly true there will be always some perks that you will consider easier than in other langauges. I can share valuable tips for learning my native language.

Secondly, I can talk about science all day. So if your into subjects like physics, biology or combating psuedoscience with logic - I am happy to join the conversation. :D

We can coook together typical polish food (or any other) but only veggie version as I do not eat meat since July 2018.

If you fancy a walk in the woods or even a multiday hike in your local wilderness. Count me in! I am outdoorsy person. If you decide to visit polish Beskidy mountains I will be happy to be your guide.

What I Can Share with Hosts

As above. I can share my companionship. People say I'm likeable so maybe there is something to it :D.
