About Me

everyday I wake up with excitement for a new day, new life and a big smile i need to share with someone around.
theoretically i lived and experienced quite a lot but everyday seems a beginning and discovering for the first time.
Four years ago I moved to an alternative community village in the mountains and converted an old polish school bus to a home and started everything from scratch, discovering how to use tools, build a shelter, collect rain water, garden etc, everything that matters to support one's life (as oppose to earn money and buy what one needs).
in this paradise I spent more than 4 years and didn't feel like going anywhere, as every day felt like an adventure and our community attracts many people from around the world, but then it's also a challenge to leave what you love and go and see what's around the corner and how other people make it in the world!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

many years ago, when I lived in the city, having a huge apartment, I was excited to host people through hospitality.org, some of them would become lifelong friends, on the other hand in the magic village I moved to the new friends just pop at your door!
as I started travelling again, mostly working my way through workaway I'd like to be able to meet you people, but I'm too shy to approach you in the street and share my excitement
