ABOUT ME

I'm an easy going, fun loving person deeply in love with photography :P I love meeting new people and talking about life, politics and art. I was originally born in Poland but lived in Canada for the past 18 years or so. I studied psychology and biology at university and I am currently a freelance photographer wanting to get into professional photojournalism and documentary media.

PHILOSOPHY

In life, no one gets out alive so live while you can!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I join others in organizing and participating in various CS events such as "speedfriending", I take part in philosophy discussion meetings and I organize a bi-weekly documentary movie screening along with some CS friends as well as a discussion group.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I joined CS about a month or so ago, I attend as many meetings as I can in my current city of Wroclaw where I love to meet fellow CSers from all over the world =)

Interests

Number one is definitely photography; second would be bike riding/jogging and of course traveling. I do also enjoy studying cultures, politics, discussing social issues and watching documentaries.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One thing I'll never forget is covering the G20/G8 meeting in Toronto as a photographer. That experience really opened my eyes to the unfortunate but all too real truth often hidden in plain sight.
