About Me

Hey I’m Stan. I am about to have my last time in Europe before moving to Asia and Africa for 3y. I do simple jobs while traveling, at the same time I expand my knowledge with which I plan to build a business afterwards. For me the important things is not to harm, to build happiness around myself and share happiness with those, who want some of it.

I’m interested in martial arts, massage schools, spirituality and also in all that it takes to become a conscious local citizen, who cares to make conscious daily choices and creates healing environment around.

I’ve travelled touristically quite a lot, now I live by organizing my life in different places for as long as it takes.

I’ve studied medicine in Warsaw 4 y
I’ve run a foundation founding education for Kenyan kids for 4 y
I worked for refugees on Lesvos and for Doctors of the World in London
I’ve studied Global Project and Change Management in the Netherlands 1/2 y
I’ve worked for a consulting company as a researcher
I’ve worked as a bartender in Poland and Netherlands
I’ve worked with Lomi Lomi massage in Paris 1/2 y
I did 2 Vipassana retreats
... this is what came to my mind to share!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting new people, which I see as a great inspiration in my life.

In Iceland I met a couple from Switzerland and Canada, who sold their houses and bought a fire truck, transformed it into a house on wheels and since then they travel non stop for the retirement.

In Kenya I met a guy who used to buy food for street children for half of his salary and later started, against friends' advices, an orphanage for them.

On Lesvos I meet amazing people devoted to helping others. I also meet people that escaped terrific lives at their home country.
