I'm a life-lover, everyday I try to suck sweet juice of it and not to waste a single drop. Love traveling, Balkans especially, love hitch-hiking - the best way to get to know other culture and sometime the fastest way to get from A to B:)
Having some plan I can force a lot of fortune opposites to execute it, NEVER GIVING UP!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe travelling is not about visiting cities, and running from one to another to see as much as possible within limited time. To me travelling is about having a break, is about a moment in which I embrace what's around me without thinking about the past or the future too much. But most of all travelling is about meeting people, living their lives for a moment, perhaps influencing their lives, making their day special. You won't get that in hotels, you won't get that for money, you can only get it for a smile. This is what makes couch surfing for me and this is why I like to be a part of this community.

Interests

I've done fair bit of motocross and snowboarding in the past (when back in Poland up until last year) but since I ended up in the flattest country on Earth (God save the Queen) haha I haven't done this recently as much as I wish. I filled up that hole in my spare time quite quickly with sports like hiking, trail running, swimming, cycling or sailing. It seems like I am quite sporty person but on the flip side of that I like my work as an engineer in automotive industry, and have recently discovered I find working on my little projects with Raspberry Pi quite enjoyable.
