About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See, feel, experience, know, learn... But still dreaming

ABOUT ME

I'm open-minded, smiling person :)

I often think about my destinations, search information, read and dream about different corners of the globe... I know, it's not original but I really want to see and admire what Word gives us. If I can savor of flavors of the world among cultures that created them, I feel I live :)

PHILOSOPHY

Take life as it comes
Because...
It always can be worse
But also...
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

Mark Twain

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was with friends in Belgium in Gent on internship at the University we were living in a flat of man whom we've met using couchsurfing. We were busy but nonetheless we visited as much as possible also due to Couchsurfing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Thanks to couchsurfing e.g. I ate the best soup in my life, spent nice evenings with countrymen abroad, felt like in the movie "Midnight in Paris", know the best places in Toruń and above all: regain faith in people.
I think it's very good idea. The world is full of fantastic people, couchsurfing is a very good way to meet them :)

Interests

Furthermore, I can't imagine life without: hiking in the mountains, my animals, dance- especially salsa and travel wherever!
I also interested in:
Latin American Dances and not only ( I learn Rock and Roll), cullinary (baking, cooking and tasting ;) ), literature, movies.
