About Me

I'm able to host starting from December. Right now we are doing our flat renovation.

I’m trying to enrich my life with new activities, people and places. Because in the very end memories are what you’re left with. That’s why I’m trying to eliminate unnecessary things and devote as much time as I can to activities which will help me to become a better person, both in the professional and physical way.

I love skiing and snowboarding. I got my ski instructor's certificate last winter. Now I'm learning snowboarding.

I am positive. Surrounding myself with good thoughts and feelings. If something bad happens (or you think it’s bad), it means there is some lesson which you need to learn and conclusions you have to make.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've met quite exciting people on CS, and got so inspired. I love meeting people from other countries and other cultures, because I believe, that real living is sharing your experiences with others. That enriches so much your world outlook. You learn to perceive the world differently.

Interests

I like exploring new places, new cities, new countries. I haven't visited many of them (only 19) but I'm working on it and I hope to visit more countries in 2019. I have travelled a bit while I was a student, thanks to Board of European Students of Technology (shortly: BEST).

I like Escape Rooms, visited quite a few of them in Lviv and in Poland.

As well I am a fan of board games, such as Dixit, Ticket to Ride, Bang, to name a few.

I like listening to podcasts on different topics. Recently listened to "Invisibilia", it explores the invisible forces that shape human behavior — things like ideas, beliefs, assumptions and emotions.

I am interested in new technologies and breakthroughs.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love audiobooks. Why audiobooks? Because I can listen to them while I'm doing the work that doesn't require my brain, for example, while cleaning my apartment or while using public transportation. I believe that reading makes me a better person.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to Sri Lanka and learned surfing there. That's the first country I've explored in Asia. For the first couple of days it wasn't that easy. After a few days I was already surfing on the longboard (beginners surf on the softboard as it's easier, and longboard is more maneuverable).

Countries I’ve Visited
