I'm Michał, 28 years old man from Poland. I'm currently living and working in Geneva, Switzerland.
I love geography, maps and postcards. Before, I could stare at maps for hours, now I try to see those places!

I hosted people in Warsaw, London and Oslo and now coming back to Couchsurfing after the pandemic break.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to discover various places, and wild nature, visit picturesque places and take on new challenges every time. I enjoy meeting new people, talking with them, and listening about their culture, everyday life or religion. I love the beautiful variety of life around the globe.

I love adventures, the unexpected and being kind to people.

Interests

I can stare at maps for long hours and always discover something new. Love meeting people, explore unobvious places. Love adventures and unexpected. Also I love contrasts: new with old, rich with poor, traditional and modern.
I collect postcards from every travel since I'm 8yo. I love buying, receiving and writing them. I also have a penfriend from another continent that I met after 8 years of exchanging snail mail.
I love numbers, statistics and uncovering lies with statistics.
And I'm into making algorithms learn, and this is what I do at my work.
