About Me

CURRENT MISSION

At the moment I'm preparing for my greatest journey - I'm heading out for Ireland, but the plan is a bit more complex than just to take a plane from Poland. I want to hitchhike most of the Europe, I've got some kind of an idea and it involves visiting Slovenia, Hungary, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Great Britain and finally Ireland. This seemed to me impossible at first but the more I spoke with my friends and family, it gradually started to
I enjoy speaking English a lot, I hope you won't find that too tiring, I'd also want to brush up my Spanish so if you can and are willing to chat in Espańol - that would be great! :D

ABOUT ME

I wouldn't describe myself as the most self-confident person in the world, however, when I get to know someone for a bit I open up and talk more freely. :) That's just how I am. The funny fact is that I seem more confindent when I speak English - I guess that is why I love to use it that much.

For three years I've been teaching English at home/done some teaching practice in primary in secondary school which was quite fun (for the most part) :)

I'm an open minded person and I enjoy listening. If you are willing to share a story about anything, rest assured that I will be sitting there and tuning in.

PHILOSOPHY

"Fear is going to be a player in your life, but you get to decide how much. You can spend your whole life imagining ghosts, worrying about your pathway to the future, but all there will ever be is what’s happening here, and the decisions we make in this moment, which are based in either love or fear."
- Jim Carrey

Constantly struggling to leave my comfort zone in order to get to know and see more! :)

I want to learn more than just three languages. I've always thought that communication is the key to success. If you happen to know some other languages I would be more than grateful to get to know them! Especially the simple words and phrases that are usefull around your country ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I don't have any.. yet!
However, I'm really keen on meeting new people and I think that it is essential in life!

Everyone has his/her own story and it is fascinating, this page allows me to get to know more cultures, people and languages!

Interests

I'm a bit of a nerd to be honest... I love a good RPG (either a paper one or on PC) and lately I've started to play card games which I also find relaxing.
An evening with my friends and Heroes of Might and Magic III? Sign me up!

I play the violin a bit, I've been learning just for half a year. I know I won't be the best but it brings me a lot of fun, especially when I play some simple theme from a movie, i.e. Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter.

Oh, and I like to walk. A lot.
