About Me

Currently we don't have possibility to host but can show you around the town.

CURRENT MISSION

A good traveller has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving.

ABOUT ME

I was born in Poland and lived there until I was 22. I graduated from Economics University. I studied Finance in Poland and Germany. I lived and worked in Belgium, the Netherlands and Turkey. Then I moved to England where I live now.

I love sports (running, skiing, windsurfing, tennis). I tried diving too. Travelling is my passion.

I always enjoyed being in multicultural communities. I have been part of international student organisation AIESEC and other international projects.
In every country I lived I participated in CS events. I made some friends thanks to those events.

PHILOSOPHY

It's time for everything in life.

La vita es bonita.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For the first time I was hosted in Sweden. I realized that CS experience is about people and getting to know their everyday life. Than I was hosted in Turkey, Georgia, Italy, Hungary, Romania, Israel, Jordan, Germany (for over 3 weeks), Holland.

I was also hosted when I was travelling with my mum. It was really nice.
Thanks to CS I had great experience during my solitary journey in Israel and Jordan.

Thw most important thing in CS is connecting with people and sharing some time. I meet amazing people during my journeys.

People who I met gave me a strong feeling that the best what I can receive is a discussion.

In July 2012 I participated in a big party for CS'ers for more that 80 people organised in Brussels. It was totally amazing experience. Since that time I attend weekly CS meeting in Brussels, food events, CS parties around Europe.
