About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore and enjoy.

ABOUT ME

I am 26 and just a little bit sad that I finished studying already. No more 3-months-long vacations for me ;( With 20 days of holidays per year I try to make the most out of it with 'long weekends' and cheap flights ;)

I like being outdoors, hiking, sleeping in a tent each night in a different place. I like going to new places just because of sheer curiosity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Only positive. Due to the way I have been usually traveling (cycling) I was unable to surf much, but each time I did it was a very positive experience. I also had a chance to host some people when I was studying in Iceland, but right now, in Kraków, I simply do not have enough place.

Interests

Well... mostly traveling and photography. These two go together quite well. I also enjoy cycling which is why most of the places I visited I did on a bicycle. Some photos I've made during those trips can be seen here:

I am also into manipulating images. I do retouching, restoration and so on.

Last but not least I like movies, all sorts of them!
