About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To Make a Change!

ABOUT ME

I am a very complicated person to understand even for my self! My mood is changable like weather. I embrace the change to the better. strongly influenced by my life in Japan between 2005 - 2011. A challenger of obstacles. a wizard of Microsoft Excel (despite how weird and geeky this may sound). Deeply in love with martial arts. passionate about technoligy, cycling, photography, sport cars and piano.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I happened to come across a random polish travelers (a brother and sister) on my way back from Osaka's Kansai Airport. They seemed to be lost and all over the place for an hour and a half in the train. I stumbled in and asked if they needed any help, and they asked me to direct them to a cheep hotel because their host from hospitality club is not answering his phone. I asked them what HC is, and they explained the whole hosting idea to me. So, I decided to host them my self and they stayed for 3 days, which was quite an experience for me. Then I decided to join hosting sites, and found that CouchSurfing culture and structure suits me better, and here I am!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hiked to the top of Mount Fuji at 3776 m altitude. I know it sounds normal and not as special to many as hundreds do it everyday in warm summer days. But it is very special to me due to my server asthma, which failed me and nearly killed me twice very close to the end, i.e. 150 m before the summit. I was finally able to achieve my goal on the third time.
