CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I am European Studies graduate currently working for polish government in London. I am a qualified lifeguard both in Poland & UK. I am also a salsa addict, scuba-diver, thrill seeker, ex-swimmer and God know what more. I love meeting new people, sharing experiences and just have good fun. Couchsurfing gave me a lot of brilliant experience and I am starving for more ! My dream is start a swimming school in the future and have Michael Phelps as one of my coaches ;))

PHILOSOPHY

We only live once so lets make the time on earth count ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was introduced to CS by my friend 3 years ago. My friend proposed me a euro trip through Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Finland and that's how it started. Then after I wandered on my on in Austria, Slovakia and Netherlands.

For now I only surf due to the fact that I am renting a small room in a house. I can not host anybody yet but I will do so in the future for sure.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I visited countries such as Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Finland, Austria and Netherlands while couchsurfing. It was brilliant. I met myriad of inspiring people and had one of the best times in my life. Got guitar lessons from on of the best guitar player in Austria, took part in a barbeque couchsurfing parties where I met few people that completely changed my life in the view of the world. One of the most memorable experience I had was in Latvia where I met this warm, kind lady in her 6o who started to travel when she turned 50. She had the most amazing collection of books and magnets from around the world. She changed me in many ways but most importantly taught me that it's never too late for a change in your life !
