About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living

ABOUT ME

After few years of working hard for big companies we decided to make a break.
So we quit, rented out our apartment, sold what we could sell and left. We were travelling for more than two years and visited over 20 countries on the way.

After more than two years of travelling around the globe, we settled down in Bory Tucholskie National Park in northern Poland, where we run a charming guesthouse with restaurant.

When we're hosted, we happy you giving us place to stay. We don't expect anyone to feed us or show us around (as we're independent travelers)unless you have the time and will to do so.
In return for hosting we always try to cook a dinner for you or help you around if you need.

PHILOSOPHY

“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 harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As we lived in Warsaw we hosted few CS's.
Now, when running the guesthouse we receiving far less requests as our place in pretty remote place. But when you decide to see something more in Poland than just Warsaw, Kraków and Zakopane - you more than welcome.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Till now we have only positive experience on CS.
It's amazing to meet people from different parts of the world.
