About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Start planning next trip

ABOUT ME

I don't really know how to answer this :) I'm an open person, hardly ever get irritated, I think of myself as a domestic person but somehow still manage to believe that my passion is travelling:) I am generally easy-going, sometimes stubborn, some say I have a sense of humour, I think I'm quite lazy, I enjoy dolce farniente but can sometimes make myself work:) Besides I don't really believe in describing personality in one paragraph :P

PHILOSOPHY

life is the art of choice

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have more and more faith in the CS idea and I really admire all the people that make this happen every day. I'd like to give back to community and most importantly - make CS as reliable and trustworthy as possible!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have surfed and hosted. I've enjoyed my CS experiences immensely and even outside CS I believe that staying with someone from where you visit is infinitely superior to any other accommodation. Even the best hostel will never be better than a caring host !

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: the list would be long. I love cinema classics, 70s movies, I like Bertolucci and Fellini, Coen brothers, Polanski, Scorsese, Stone... the rest of the list coming :)
Music: jazz, rock, classics, hard rock (lately:)).. Salsa!! don't like hip-hop or techno, open to most other genres
Books: just a couple random names - Eco, Dostoyevski, Stendhal, Mann, Pratchett, Kapuscinski, Proust, Berlin... unfortunately don't have that much time to read:((

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent over three weeks in Vienna, Venice, French Riviera and Florence and spent altogether €150 (more than half of which I think went to beer and parties)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Polish, share some technical knowledge of computers, show you how to play violin (up to the beginner's level:)). I'm willing to tell you about my country!
