PHILOSOPHY

life is a journey & only sky is the limit

I want to be good to the nature and to myself.

I believe that one can achieve what he/she really works - no matter how unrealistic the dream seems. It has already happened to me and I keep having new dreams, plans and putting them into action! Of course I'm impatient! I also try to figure out how to switch from my capitalist lifestyle into a charity worker's career and afford my life, give back what I was given for free from my destiny, God, parents and all those inspiring friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I consider myself as a good listener and interested in your lifestyle and dreams. Just be aware I'm an environmental freak...:)well, my friends can survive that!

Participation in the CS has smoothly become a lifestyle. Most of my friends in Budapest are CS-ers.
I love meeting true travellers, because it's like a fountain of inspiration:) and I have recently started to surf myself...:) I established the Wednesday CS meetups in Santiago, used to be more active in the past though, and I fell in love with a CS-er!:)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Without realising that such a CS community exists I have always hosted my international friends at home in Poland. With my mother we enjoyed taking care of our guests from cooking them traditional meals to making tours of the city and the countryside.

I hosted CS-ers in my flat in Budapest and it has always been a great experience. It happened a few times that I organised CS-ers parties, later those parties seem to organise themselves even without my input!:)

Interests

your country, culture, society, politics - all that you'd like to share with me! I'm interested in particular in social activism (against the climate change especially), but many other things (those I don't know yet as well!:)

Teach, Learn, Share

I love dancing
