About Me

I'm an active, curious and easygoing person who leads not very serious, however quite fascinating life. Its changes and unpredictable twists make me really love it ;) I enjoy good laugh just as much as to make others smile.

At one point of my history I realized that I'm missing something important. Life can't be just working, buying useless stuff and partying. I was sure that there has to be more than that - so I packed my backpack and went with a friend for first (8 months long) backpacking travel across Eastern Europe and parts of Asia.

After some time yet another (this time the most intensive) travel of my life has begun. 2 years of meeting new people, trying oriental food and visiting unimaginable places in Asia and South America provided me with memories for life. These incredible experiences (not only the pleasant ones) forever changed my perception of the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people from other cultures, exchange experiences and most importantly - to have fun! When I was living in London I tried to host people from time to time. Now, after my another "round the world" travel I stay in Wroclaw ("the meeting place") to recharge, have some fun and meet another new cool people ;)

Interests

I like to see differences and similarities of other cultures. I'm attracted to new food and drinks of every sort ;) During long trips by bus, train or plane I often listen to the audio-books. I collect funny/weird stories of people I met just as I share things happened to me during my life. I'm always keen to go for a local party to see how is it alike ;)
