About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Experience the unknown - by food, culture and long chats with new friends over the glass of vine.

ABOUT ME

All about me? And only this small field?! Mission impossible.
Ok, but the few things - I am a travelling lover from Gdansk, Poland. I like to travel student way - intense and cheap:) I finished studying architecture few years ago so it is easy to guess I love art, design and all sorts of nice things and places.
I love to cook and eat - this is one of the most pleasurable things in life for me.
I like to chat, and meet other people to have a first hand glimpes into other cultres. People are fascinating!

PHILOSOPHY

Someone wise once told me:

who if not WE
where if not HERE
when if not NOW

and I agree:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Giving cosy couch and good tour around my current city. So just write.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I don't have much of CS experience but I'm warming up ;) With CS I visited Malmo and Copenhagen, and spend really good time in Haarlem and Amsterdam. Recently I have visited Norway and also "surfed".
Travelling by autostop, coviturage, sleeping at friends couches and cheap hostels is the way to experience real adventure for me. To meet with people on completely different level - the more engaged one:)

Interests

I absolutely love sports- from water sports like swimming and windsurfing to sailing.
Secondly - snowboarding (yeah the winter is great time). This is simple you and the mountain.
Art and good design - this makes world more beautiful and easier.
People - it sounds funny but i love to get to know new people
and finally - food - the tastes of all around the world:)

Music, Movies, and Books

So much to write about:)

I am open to all kinds of music and literature. In my free time I read a lot, but you know, it is so hard to stick to one type of literature or music. It is just boring and opening for new things make you brighter.
