Hi everyone,

I'm Mishka. My friends say I'm a mass of smiles, muscles and crazy ideas. I suppose it's true. I consider myself as a realistic dreamer who instead of waiting for magic keeps eyes open widely ready to use given opportunities.

I'm originally from Poland but straight after finishing my high school I moved out from home, first to London where I'd been living for a couple of months and then to New York where I did an student exchange program as an au pair. Not that long ago I came back to the motherland.

I'm always hungry - literally and figuratively. I love to experience and try new things either if it's cliff jump into the ocean, local food or traditional dance - I'm in! I believe that everybody is better than me in something what means that I can take even just a small lesson from all people I meet. Also, as you can see from my photos I'm a sport freak. All my life I've been training something from volleyball through ballroom dancing, running, crossfit, calisthenics to acroyoga/yoga. In my daily work&study base I like to be organized, keep my training schedule and healthy diet but when I travel I rather prefer to have a draft and go with the flow, relax and have fun.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me traveling is more about people I meet on my way than places I visit. By couchsurfing I have a chance to experience for a couple days somebody else's lifestyle from all around the world. Something you don't get in any hotel.
