About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm going to climb giant sequoia, learn to kitesurf, scuba dive and play the classical guitar. Want to become a marrow donor. Would like to see whole the world and find out what's the most important in life.

ABOUT ME

I have great aims and devote completely to reach them. Artist-scientist hybrid. Absolutely can't live without music. As a traveler I'm addicted to museums, galleries and so on :P. Love tulips, strawberries and chocolate. Drink coffee every day. Don't like beer and grapefruit juice.

Don't speak english fluently and feel bad about that, so I'm trying to change it by meeting new people as a couchsurfer.

Like climbing, because it lets me do things, which I used to consider impossible for me.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't express your opinion on issues you're not familiar with.

Just because something is legal doesn't mean it's right.

Do what you love for a living.

Love has to be learned.

Aim high! Never give up!

"Life without death wouldn't make sense."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

A few friends told me about that. I signed up to meet people from various countries, find sth out about different cultures, show them around Warsaw and have more opportunities to speak foreign languages.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Before Couchsurfing was founded, I "surfed" as a member of school orchestra. Quite often we went abroad and two times we were hosted by German families.

First family consisted of parents and daughter - Katarina. I remember first evening, when Katarina, her mom and me were watching Harry Potter with english subtitles. It was really nice evening! We exchanged phone numbers with the girl, but unfortunately I lost my mobile phone soon, so we don't keep in touch any more.

Second family consisted of middle aged couple and the husband's father - very old man, playing zither beautifully. Last evening we gave a concert somewhere and when we came back to their home, their greeted us with champagne. It was incredible!

As a couchsurfer I was in Vienna for a few days and was hosted by two groups of people. Although they differed from each other, both consisted of really great hosts. I had a good time there and for sure will surf in future.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I remember at least two equally amazing experiences.

One day I lost my way riding bike through the streets of Barcelona. When I turned, I figured out I was in front of Sagrada Familia, which I saw then for the first time.

My best sailing experience ever was when we could haven't managed to get back on shore but we've done that.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love cooking, so I can cook sth delicious for us. We can exchange recipes for our national dishes - it's very interesting to try new tastes. I can also teach you Polish, help you or your child with maths (if you want :P) or tell you how to make sound for film.

I'd like to learn foreign languages and to dance tango argentino and salsa. I'd like you to tell me about your passion.
