About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To learn about world, nature and our heritage
ABOUT ME
I am friendly and outgoing guy who loves new adventures. I don't like complaining and am easy going. I respect others and their ways of living.
My true aim in life is to study the world, culture and nature. I travel a lot and I love it. I am a scientist who tackles problems of plant evolution, I try to understand how agriculture changed human lives and became the founding effect of our civilisation.
I do a lot of sports, mainly outdoor activities such as trekking, scuba diving and sailing. I love challenges and adventures.
PHILOSOPHY
Reaching the goal is not everything. The harder road you pick the more you learn, experience and are prepared for next challenges.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
CS is a great way of meeting people! I already have extensive hosting experience, not all listed in CS as they were often non-CS friends or friends of those friends :) . I met great people when I couch surfed myself. It is simply awesome! CS gives great insight into what is really important in traveling - understanding ways of living, customs, cuisine and culture.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I stayed a couple of days with Mehmet in Dogubeyazit in Eastern Turkey and it was awesome! I have been hosted by Sasha in Kuala Lumpur and it was even greater!
I myself hosted Mehmet in Warsaw, Poland. On other occasion I hosted Michal from couch surfing in Leamington Spa, UK. On multiple occasions I hosted my friends and relatives in every country I lived in.
