About Me

I am a website manager and part-time jeweller, craft maker, dealer. I am curious individualist who's interested in so many things this world has to offer. Originally from mountainous region in Poland, I have been living in London long enough to call it my home. I have unsatisfiable need to learn new things, I want to experience all that's good in life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Although seeing landmarks in any given travel is part of experiencing a culture and can be enjoyable, I always find myself curious about people who created that specific culture. How does their daily life looks like, how different is it from mine, how do they interact with each other, what do they think of the world. The world local people live is what makes it so unique and memorable...and this is what I think couchsurfing allows you to experience. Circumstances permitting I am hoping to become a host soon.
