PHILOSOPHY

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things 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". [M. Twain]

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really like to travel. Not only is it an opportunity for me to meet new fantastic people who - like me - love to explore and discover new places, but also I treat it as a adventure. I enjoy getting an inside view of the places I visit and couchsurfing helps me with that.

Interests

Most of all I love mountains. I attend a local Mountains Guide Course which covers basically all of the polish mountain area. I travel there since I was a child. I also like to spend my time on the bosom of the nature. I love to stop and smell the roses. Beside getting to know new places I also enjoy a good movie, an evening with intereseting book or CD record. I like jazz but I'm also openminded to other genres. During free time I enjoy playing sports. I love to bicycle, play badmington, swim and run.
