About Me

I'd describe myself as a reasonable, honest and friendly person who loves adventures of all kinds. My hobbies are mainly focused on sports:
- I love hiking (every free weekend I'm in the mountains, also I've done Camino del Norte in Spain)
- I am skiing and windsurfing instructor, and also have sailing license
- Every year I'm taking long distance cycling trip across Polish borders
- I used to play badminton professionally and also squash as an amateur
- I train calisthenics twice a week (can do human flag or muscle up) and go to the climbing wall from time to time
Apart from sports I like learning languages, playing bridge, taking online courses (especially from Machine Learning), having fun with my friends and helping other people.
But above all, I love enjoying life, meeting amazing people and becoming a better person!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I believe it's the best possibility to explore a place from inside, meet local people and experience their customs and habits. It's also a great opportunity to enjoy meal in the best local restaurant in town, share travelling experiences and inspire one another to do even crazier things in our lives. Above all, it's just awesome possibility to have fun and laugh with people from different cultures, with different hobbies, but always with perfect attitudes!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hiked circa 4000km on foot from Wrocław in Poland (my home city) to Santiago de Compostela on St. Jakob's Way and up to Muxia and Finisterra - the most western place in Spain (End of the World). The whole trip was splendid, I met people all around the world and after that I became a better man.
