CURRENT MISSION

become a real anthropologist

ABOUT ME

I never know what should I write in things like this. I love to travel, I'm different person when I'm on the move, a happier one, and hopefully a better one:) I'm an anthropologist, an aspiring filmmaker (or filmmakers asistnat maybe), a kayaker.

I studied ethnology and cultural anthropology at Warsaw University and then photography, which pursue now.

The best thing in my life are people around me. Honestly, I couldnt have better friends, they are my driving force and my biggest love.

The second best thing in life is for me literature. Books alway has been my passion, I used to love them more then people, fortunately it's changed now:)

Ah, nad I'm a vegetarian for three years now> But sometimes maybe more flexitarian.. eh.
I realy love cooking and eating

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe its one of the best way to travel. It allows you to see things from different perspective. It's unique opportunity to know local people. It adds to travel a component of suprise and unknown - thats almost always welcomed.

But the thing I love the most in couchsurfing is that it is so great opportunity to build trust. I always feel amazed when someone who in fact is a stranger trusts my with his home, his privacy. And I love it other way around; discovering how much pleasure gives me trusting other people.
