Hey! I'm Pawel (Paul) and I'm polish :) I'm studying Ocean Engineering and Ship Technology on the University of Technology in Gdańsk. That's the only faculty like this in Poland so I moved there from Warsaw to live in a dormitory. I also finished technical high school, I'm mechatronics technician.
This summer I decided to spend in America, I was working on the Timber Lake West Camp in NY in maintenance team. So far I finished my work, been in Washington, discovering Couchsurfing and traveling alone.

CURRENT MISSION

Live life without regrets. Treat everyone like a friend.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling should be something more than moving from one place to another, booking decent but empty hotel rooms. To travel should mean to meet new people. Who can show you a city better than a locals? How can you feel better a city than hanging around with people who live there? I don't want to just moving from one place to another during my journey. That's why I'm here.
I don't have my own flat yet, but it gonna happen soon and I will be happy to share my house with couchsurfers in a beautiful city of Gdańsk in Poland :)
