About Me

I love the idea of CS and I'd be honoured to be your guest, or host you in Warsaw.

IMPORTANT: you might see negative review on my profile from some crazy person. Nothing she said is true, I have contacted police and court of law to deal with her insane behaviour. Its sad that one person can try to ruin someone's great reputation.

If Im host: I put all info in home section. Very basic stuff, I dont have big rules. Just write anything personal in request please.

If Im a guest: it means Im travelling alone. I dont want to save money, it means I dont want to be alone. I'd like to meet, talk and share experience. Im traveling alone a lot, but Im trying to use this opportunity to meet new people - it's important for me. I have already made few friends on CS. But Im respectful and dont expect you to be my guide in the city. Couchsurfing so far was wonderful to me, not only helping me in traveling, but most importantly giving me opportunity to meet amazing people and learn a lot of things.

About me:
Two most important parts of my life are metal music and football. I can't live without them, I'm always listening music and I used to watching a lot of football games. Even my work was linked with both of them. I was music journalist and social media manager in sport industry in Poland, but then I moved to general marketing area.

Metal concerts are main reason to travel, but I'm trying to see as much as possible. Im also traveling just to explore the world, being more and more delighted how much it has to offer. I love meeting new people, seeing historical sites and learning about cultures.

I felt in love in Japan, and Im considering moving there for some time.

Traveling across the world changed me as a person, climbing the mighty Machu Picchu, laying over the sunset in Thailand, exploring shops with action figures in Japan, having fun with strangers in Vietnam, showed me many perspectives, and made me who I am now.

I'm laughing all time, telling funny stories and jokes. I grew up watching "Married with Children", so be ready for that kind of humor. I'm very talkative and extravert person. I can speak with everyone about everything. History, culture, sport, music... I believe, that talking with every person can give me something, either inspiration, or raising my knowledge.

Well, that's me. Crazy metalhead-football fan, with a lot of energy. I'm happy to finally host people, not only being guest - I believe it's true essence of CS, so even if it's last minute call - don't be affraid to message me!

Please DONT request if you have no reviews!
Sending copy-paste message not related to my description is just wrong! We're all here to make our travel more accesible and I get it, but let me know why you think my profile caught your interest.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Basically after some time alone I dont feel good, and I cant experience travelling as much as I could. Sharing experiences, spending time with other people, meeting new cultures, is very important in my life. Thats why Im choosing CS over hotels, even tho I can afford it.
[2022 Update: well, now hotels are so fckin expensive....]

For same reason Im hosting people, trying to make their travels more accesible, as Im living in a apartament in the centre of city. I believe that essence of CS is not just taking, but also giving. I'm happy to host people, not only being guest - I believe it's true essence of CS, so even if it's last minute call - don't be affraid to message me!

Interests

  • metal music

Music, Movies, and Books

I have many favourite bands, but Iron Maiden is my favourite. I mean, nearly 40 years of great music, evolution of style, but still same high level. Maiden's songs are something really special, they have everything, technique, passion, feeling, style, and catchy. I saw them 66 times already, and Im eager to add more. Many more.

The other band I love is Megadeth, Dave Mustaine is my idol for sure, his angery and determination during whole life, to fight for the success. He's not perfect, but he's inspiration to fight, and live on your own way, no matter what.

Also love King Diamond, Manowar, Manilla Road, WASP, Opeth, King Diamodnd. Don't think I only listen to metal, I like some old rock, especially prog rock, King Crimson is very important here, alongside with Yes and Rush, electronic (Prodigy, Perturbator), movie music, and even classic (Wagner!).

In case of books Im mostly reading sci-fi or fantasy novels and biographies of musicans. Also economical and historical stuff.

Im huge fan of DC Comics, especially comic books about Batman.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I escaped home when I was 15 to see Megadeth live. My father didn't kill me, he was on the plane and met... Megadeth band members after the show! It changed my life

Teach, Learn, Share

If you like rock/metal music I can show you band you didn't even hear about, but which completely suprise you with their skills and quality. If you're football fan, I'll tell you great stories, which will suprise you. If you're not a metal or football fan I'll still try a way to at least make you laugh from some of my many jokes, or share you some crazy stories from my travels. You can learn a lot from me about a world, history, economy...

I am master of skyscanner so I can teach you tricks to fly cheaper!

Im also good at bussiness related stuff.

As I mentioned above, I believe that every conversation can increase your knowledge. Interesting books, movies, music, stories... everybody has something interesing to say, and I'm careful to listen.

As host: I was born and raised in Warsaw, I know a lot of great places and can recommend you everything you need

What I Can Share with Hosts

Well, I can say same thing I said above. Spending time with me guarantee you many great jokes and stories.
