CURRENT MISSION

every journey starts with a dream:)

ABOUT ME

well, I'm really easy-going person, who love travelling and mountains - especially Polish ones:) I can't sit long in one place so I often change my place of living:)
I love exotic travels - to South-East Asia or South America. Nowhere else you can meet so much difference between cultures, it's really educational experience:) when I travel, I like to try everything which is special for certain country. I love tasting strange food, the more strange the better ;D (so far - taiwanese food:P)

PHILOSOPHY

" Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you did not 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." Mark Twain

"A journey, after all, neither begins in the instant we set out, nor ends when we have reached our door step once again. It starts much earlier and is really never over, because the film of memory continues running on inside of us long after we have come to a physical standstill. Indeed, there exists something like a contagion of travel, and the disease is essentially incurable."
Ryszard Kapuscinski, Travels with Herodotus

"...podroz to cos wiecej niz przemieszczanie sie z miejsca na miejsce, niz turystyka (wlas›ciwie rozwoj turystyki, jak umasowienie kazdej wartosci, zbanalizowal‚, zwulgaryzowal‚ sacrum podrozy). Podroz to owocne przekazywanie s›wiata, zglebianie jego tajemnic i prawd, szukanie odpowiedzi na pytania, ktore on stawia. ..."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I don't have my own apartment so it's quite difficult... Hosting people in a dorm it's not easy. So I mainly showed couchsurfers around Krakow and tried to show them my city from Polish - not a tourist - point of view. :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Only positive!!!:D I couchsurfed in Greece, in Vienna, on Crete,in Salamanca, in Portugal (Lisbon, Aveiro) and few times in Taiwan. I was a host one time. And I had some beers and little bit of sightseeing with couchsurfers in Krakow.

I couchsurfed:
Irini in Athens (2011)
Katerina in Korinthos (2011)
Sarah in Vienna (2012)
Maria in Chania (2012)
Angeliki in Heraklion (2012)
Rhaul in Aveiro (2012)
Antonio in Salamanca (2012)
Aby in Taipei (2013)
