CURRENT MISSION

One day I will find out how it's possible that people are walking upside down on the other side of the planet...

ABOUT ME

I actively love travelling! Spending 2 or 3 weekends each month in the local Beskidy mountains. Sometimes I'm just walking, sometimes I'm cycling and a few times a year I'm skiing and happened to be even walking in snowshoes. In general, I travel during any weather conditions.

Since over 4 years, I am also involved in Academic Mountain Guides Association in Gliwice.

What else? I'm software engineer, spent a year on exchange in the far north of Europe - in Finland. I liked that and I still like winter after this but I also hate darkness... ;)

Well, anyway, welcome to my surroundings in the meantime!

PHILOSOPHY

When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. That's my religion.

-- Abraham Lincoln

Success is when you getwhat you desired.Happiness is when you enjoywhat you're getting. BE HAPPY! :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I generally answer to all messages from CS. Feel invited to write me.

I currently offer a couch in my flat in Katowice, very close to the city center. Previously, I also hosted in my home town Laziska Gorne, Poland, where I lived with my parents and also in my dormitory room in Tampere, Finland.

The way I'm trying to help this project is just using it. But there are also other activities I do or did in the past. The most extensive thing I do is telling my friends about CS and explaining what it actually is. In October 2009, I organized a Mountain Rally for CouchSurfing members as well.

Shame on me that I didn't participate in any regional CS meeting up to now. (I'll do my best to change it)
