About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Always look on the bright side of life

ABOUT ME
I lived for 5 last years in the Amsterdam, moved to London 1.5 years ago. I am still keeping very close connections with Poland. I am often on the move, traveling for work (particularly Ghana and Uganda recently), and during weekends (mostly exploring UK countryside).

In November, I am going to Canada (Ontario and Montreal) for 2 weeks, piggy-backing on my work trip. I will be in Toronto, Niagara, Kingston, Ottawa, Montreal, Algonquin Provincial Park and maybe some other national parks.

I like traveling actively, hiking, cycling, visiting cities, walking many kilometers and spending time in the nature. I am talkative and interested in many aspects of our reality.

I am not a big fun of clubbing and loud places (except for sport events).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far great! I was hosted with my friends in Lisbon, Sicily, twice in Tel Aviv, and was hosted alone in Izmir twice, Tallin, and twice in Eindhoven. Great experiences, I've met a lot of interesting people and with some I still keep in touch.

Additionally, spend some time with people hosted by my friends. Looking forward to more CS experience!

Interests

Hiking, biking, traveling, literature, economics, developing countries, politics, internet, cars, public transport, playing piano, basketball and football - recently more watching (especially NBA) than playing, unfortunately.
