Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to explore new places not only from the tourist point of view, that's why I like to meet with locals, hear their story, learn something about local community, get to know different points of view :)

From the other hand I like to travel spontanic, and CS is very helpful in it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sleeping under the stars in mountains.

Spending 3 months in Caucasus mountains.

I'm also interesting in protection of big predators like bears, wolves and lynx, standing face to face with bear was amazing experience for me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can tell you about polish culture or nice place to see in Krakow, where I lived from 12 years.
