Overview
About Me
Born in 🇺🇦 , live in 🇵🇱
I laugh a lot. Life is not to be taken too seriously. I am curious, expressive and open. I enjoy having philosophical discussions about the nature of things and what it’s all about. I appreciate humor and intellectual discussions, carefully listening to what others have to say.
I love learning something new from the people I meet, and making others learn makes me genuinely happy.
I’m interested in self-development, occultism, spirituality, art, ecology, psychedelics, inward and outward traveling, healing, mindfulness, shamanism, ancient and modern traditions, comparative mythology and religions, Jungian psychology, NLP, meditation, cognitive science, mystical experiences and Truth in general, which can be expressed in so many different shapes and forms…

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Thanks to Couchsurfing we can experience cultural exchange, getting to know each others’ worldviews, knowledge, sharing places to stay, etc. And it is simply the best way to travel!
"I'll miss the sea, but a person needs new experiences. They jar something deep inside, allowing him to grow. Without change something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken".
"Dune" 1984
