CURRENT MISSION

To experience the world before I get old and grumpy.

ABOUT ME

I'm a very active person. I don't like sitting in one place and doing nothing. I keep smiling all the time! I love travelling. I've been to many amazing places and I met very friendly people everywhere, but there is still a lot on my way...

I used to do orienteering when I had more time, so you would never be lost by my side :)
Now my hobby is HITCH-HIKING!

there's more pictures of mine on facebook:

PHILOSOPHY

Don't count the days, make the days count!

It's not about the age, it's about experience!

Work hard, play harder!

The longer you wait for the future, the shorter it is.

In the end we olny regret the chances we didn't take.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At first CS was for me only a way of cheap travelling as I'm a poor student. But all the travels have given me a lot of experience and taught me a lot, especially that CS is NOT ONLY a free hostel, it's much much more, it's exactly what people should expect from travels. Meeting new people, learning about new culture, exchanging experiences and feeling the spirit of the place where you are.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have already "crashed few couches" and I met amazing people there in Europe as well as in the USA. I've been also hosting many students this year in my apartment so I know also the "second side" of CS :)

I've won Lower Silesia Cup in Orienteering March in 2011 and 2012.
I've got also second and third prize in Polish Championship of Team Orienteering in 2011 and 2012.
\ why ORIENTEERING? Because it needs both, phisycal strength, sober brain, and logical thinking - and you are all the time just with map, compass and nature!
So far I took part in over 120 orienteering competitions, I also inventen few activities like this.

• cooking
• outdoor activities
• hiking
• camping
• engineering
• languages
• hitchhiking
• orienteering

Música, películas y libros

I listen to almost every kind of music, but once a good song came to my mind I keep repeating it all the time. "Laaady, running down to the riptide..."

My fave book is 'Brave New World' written by Aldous Huxley.

Love TV & movies but usually don't have time for watching them.
