PHILOSOPHY
" Dance! Dance! Otherwise we are lost! " Pina Bausch
"A free man is someone who is true to himself.
Who follows his dreams and turns them into reality.
You have to put fear to one side - it will always be there but you have to follow your path.
It's all possible, if you put enough energy into it." - Skyliners
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Surfing, hosting, going to CS meetings :)
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
So far I have only good memories connected to CS society :)
My first CS experience was in Italy and it was sooo great! From that moment I knew that I will never again travel with travel agency! I met so many awesome people, they showed me so many great places and introduce me to the real italian mentality! Cause what's the better way of getting to know particular country than meeting people who live there :)
Then, when I was in San Francisco few people showed me around, and later I showed Warsaw to one of them when he was in Poland :)It was funny (and great!)to met again in the other part of the world - but it perfectly shows how couchsurfing make world smaller, more accessible and friendly place :)
Interests
I love dancing and usually my friends have to force me to leave the dancefloor :P Salsa, samba, crazy woogie-boogie, I love all styles :) I am now dancing mostly cuban salsa, salsa rueda and afrocuban dances.
Also I love windsurfing, planning to learn kitesurfing and admire surfing ( but after few attempts to learn it, I prefer to watch it haha ;)
I am a movie Buff and watch a lot of tv series. I used to go every year to New Horizons Film Festival in Wrocław in Poland - which is a really great Film Festival andI really recommend it! My dream used to be to organize Film Festival and I managed to work at Warsaw Film Festival for a bit :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I got scholarship to study Indonesian language and culture in Bali. I took year off at my University and went to Indonesia for 6 months :) Och, that was an adventure! Living in totally different culture, I learned how to be patient with a smile, live under one roof with a million of lizards and dance with my eyes ;)
