Hey Dear CouchSurfers!

Patryk Here!

I have not been here for a long time. a lot has changed in my life since then.

I have taken up the path of authenticity, have started to look to my inner self. Went to meditations that helped me to understand that my emotions are an important signpost. They show me my needs.

I try to confront difficult situations, and be honest about how I feel in the here and now. If something is not in line with my values, I manifest it, with respect for the other person.

I try to be responsible, i.e. respond to what the world says to me, what others need, Am compassionate.
I have not been here much because I have started to travel less in the world. Am now exploring what is native, what is local, what is from the land I was born on.

Am fascinated by the singing, music and traditions of the countryside, which has practically passed away. I love singing traditional songs, simple songs, stories of people not from the city, people, simple people, who lived closer to nature.

I undertook a search for village singers on my own. Bought a bicycle, and went for a few days, asking around in the villages for people who knew the old songs.

Am humbled and grateful to the older people, for their experience, of those times I do not know.
In my spare time, Make jewellery from copper and precious minerals, which I then sell, sitting in the old town in Lublin (when it is warm)

I also play the ukulele a bit. And have started to study music education in the field of musical art. In the future I would like to work with children in a community centre.

May there be Peace and Love!

Thank you for reading a piece of my story.

PS I am soon going to Turkey for 6 months, using the Erasmus programme, I can't wait to meet the People of this land, I have never been there. After a long break from travelling, the stop is in Bursa city, Turkey, Inshallah
