About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Just to live... intensively :)

We are a (married) couple trying to enjoy life while we still can, and love to spend time with our little son (3 years old) and daughter (1 year old).

Because the world is so big and the life so short, we try to see as much as possible! Therefore - friendship, travelling, music, sports, books, movies, being open to the world are our favourite things :)

Life is too short just to sit by the desk and work in an office! That's why we want to feel the world, its nature, get know as much possible of its inhabitants as long as we still can ;)
That's why we made in 2013 a 7-months round-the-world trip (the two of us). In 2015 we had a great 4-month trip in the USA and Mexico with our 6 month old boy. In 2018 the four of us spent wonderful month on Guadeloupe, and we continue to travel as a family.

The feeling of realizing life dreams is simply great :)
Now as an extended family we want to teach our kids that the world does not end in the nearest playground but it is waiting to be seen and explored!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a great way to meet interesting people!
We have "couchsurfed" in Belgium, Kenia, Iran, USA, Poland and hosted couple of people in Poland and really love the idea! We respect that it is your home and your rules, and try not to be a burden at any time :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music is very important to us; from classical (Monika finished music high school) to house and rock. Books - Hesse is the one that has a special place in Monika's heart, Tolkien in Jacek's. Movies - too many to mention ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One? There are too many to reduce them to just one. Oh yes - finding out every day that the dreams come true! :)

Teach, Learn, Share

We enjoy anybody who likes to meet others and learn from others as well.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can share any travel and/or life experience we had, cook something Polish, teach some piano, and share the pure joy of having small children nearby.
