Smiling, quite calm. Gathering my courage to try things, meet new people. In love with being on the move, especially while sailing, but also happy with a a good coffee in a favorite cup, over a compelling book. A beginner in balcony gardening.

Master of planning everyday and everything, but still trying to live more in the present, enjoying the short moments.

When I travel, I always try to see the place through its taste and smell. Especially Morocco taught me a lot about it. I believe, that a good meal is the best way to integrate people's minds and conversation.

My philosophy? Nothing is black or white in this world. But I believe, that people are in general good-natured, honest and kind, and I try to look at them taking this into account.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Knowing the world makes you understand better the reality. And to know the world, you have to meet people. And talk.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Me and a group of my friends took part in a charity race called Złombol. We drove 4000 km by an old Polish car - FSM Zuk, which broke down many times during the journey. In this way we passed through Passo dello Stelvio in Italian Alps and reached Sicily, meeting on the way many people, both the participants of the race and the locals.
