About Me

CURRENT MISSION

It is better to travel than to arrive

ABOUT ME

Well ... let´s start from the beginning ^^ I actually was born in Poland and lived there for about 4 years before my parents moved to Germany. Although I was raised in Bavaria I still feel quite connected to Poland ;) Right now I´m 24 years old and I am studying Mechatronics in Dresden. After I finished school I worked as a Paramedic for half a year, travelled a lot and continued doing so during my studies.
I lived in Dresden for some 6 years on and off with a break for a year in Brazil and now I am working in Stuttgart since a while.

From March 2015 till March 2016 I will be in Floripa so I cannot host people here - but maybe there , who knows :D

PHILOSOPHY

I guess that this is one of my major reasons why i want to travel : to get to know as many personal philosophies from other people as i can and this way distinguish my own !! ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to share my room and my experiences with other surfers and hope they enjoy their stay in Dresden.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have already been couchsurfing in Brazil, Malaysia and New Zealand, and all the people I did meet from CS where great. They showed us around, helped us with organiying stuff and mostly were interested and open! And I sometimes also go to the monthly couchsurfing meetings in my city.

Interests

Basically everything that has got anything to do with sports (basketball, swimming, karate, snowboarding, diving ....) but mainly climbing.
And I love to learn and try new and different sports.
Of course I also like to get to know interesting life stories - otherwise I wouldn´t be on CS ;) - and listen to languages I don´t understand :D And if the time is not to short, learning some things in those languages
