About Me

Just wondering around trying to explore this beautiful planet as much as possible.

Some facts about me:
- huge animals lover;
- rather a night owl;
- fond of fantasy (both books and movies);

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've always dreamt to see the world (even though it may sound banal), and I believe that it is better to get acquainted with the new places in a good company. I am convinced that interesting people we meet on our way make our journeys really great.

Staying in a hostel or hotel may be comfortable, but CS gives a unique opportunity to learn the foreign cultures from the inside, which is priceless :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a huge Harry Potter fan, and I adore the universe of J. R. Tolkien.

I read quite a lot and I believe that books help us to open the new horizons and to live multiple lives.

Some of my favorite authors: Andrzej Sapkowski ("The Witcher"), E. A. Poe, Stephen King, Jack London, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Regarding the music, I mostly listen to indie-folk, indie, and classic rock. However, I am always open to some new musical experience :)

Some of my favorite movies:
- Into the Wild (the soundtrack is awesome too);
- Knockin' on Heaven's Door;
- Shawshank Redemption;
- Big Fish;
- Midnight in Paris;
- Breakfast at Tiffany's.
