Hello everyone !
My name is Mateusz, 29, born in Poland. I spent 8 years living in Brighton, England, but since winter 2016 I've been happily living in Barcelona, Spain. I love traveling and meeting new people! I always try to keep my mind very open to better understand people and everything that surrounds us. I believe that sharing is caring, therefore whatever I have, I will share with you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling and gaining knowledge are one of my greatest passions. From my experience the best ways to learn are from mistakes but also from other people. Couchsurfing gives us an opportunity to meet so many people around the world, uniting and willing to exchange whatever we have: place to stay, kind words, encouragement, experiences, stories and many more.

Interests

I love traveling and meeting new people, learning about new cultures and discuss the differences. A good book over a movie, always! Food is one of the best things in the world! I love eating but also cooking. My life project (and I know I will get there...one day): to learn how to play the cello!

Teach, Learn, Share
