Ex-journalist and big bike -lover who is keen on travelling

MY PHILOSOPHY:
"Carpe diem :)"
and:
"One of the most important days of my life was when I learned to ride a bicycle". (Michael Palin)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It is simple: all because of the people. Their stories, passions, sad and happy memories. Everything what they want to share with me!
And... (but it's between you and me ;) ... I am collecting inspirations for my tales (maybe novel in future :)

Interests

Photography, modern literature and reportages (for example Ryszard Kapuscinski, Jacek Hugo-Bader, Swietłana Aleksijewicz) , trekking (especially polish mountains), board games. Favourite sports: climbing and cycling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My single trip to Rome. Thanks to all amazing people, who I have met there, I overcame my fears of travelling alone abroad :)
