I have lived in Vienna (Austria) for five years. I was born and raised in Warsaw (Poland), have enjoyed an Erasmus semester in Fribourg (Switzerland), lived for one and a half a year in Poznań (Poland) and have travelled across Romania for more than a year.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I´ve been couchsurfing for more than ten years now, but without using any CouchSurfing website. I woud say that I´m rather a hitch-hiker than a couchsurfer. Most of the experiences I´ve had were very cool. I have no problem with sleeping on the floor, at the airport or on the bench at the bus stop.
