Overview
About Me
Hey!
About me:
I'm curious of the world person. I love learning new things (if only they are interesting of course :'). I like trying new foods, drinks, activities,everything.
For sure I'm positive. I like making everything as easy as it's only possible. That doesn't mean that I'm lazy :') Right now it's one of my dreams to do nothing for several days, but there is always something nice to do so I need to rest in motion :')
I like sports and adrenaline. I like feeling like a character from or story :). I'm a climber, sailor, sometimes a juggler. I'm trying to keep training martial arts (because one day they may save me or my friends). And if I have time I'm running, riding a horse or jumping on trampolines.
I've got a dog. Rika. About 2 years. Almost very day, usually at the evening I'm taking her for a long walk to the forest. Sometimes we run together, sometimes she runs and I bike, sometimes she catches her frisbee. On every walk I'm trying to practice with her obedience. She's great friend :) Maybe one day we'll walk together through mountain and sleep in the tent. But I'm a bit scared she will go somewhere when I sleep.
I'm a dreamer. I dream about being a good person. About being someone who can do many things and who knows a lot. About sharing that knowledge. I dream about adventures.
I think one day I will build a school in a poor country. Maybe in Indonesia. Or maybe I will create a travel agency. Take people to the wild and teach climbing, survival or sth I will learn while traveling. And then help poor people somehow. Maby I will take long holidays to go and teach English. Until I've been to Indonesia I've never expected that it's so easy to help other people. With my school level of English I spoke much better than English teachers I meet. So it would be great to help :)
I want to write a book or ran an online shop.
And all the time I want to help good people around me. Good travelers are welcome to my home (if only I can)
I'm starting university right now. Going to study environment protection and cognitive science. I'm pretty scared it may require much time. But I hope I'll find time for everything.
I'm working at the climbing wall in the year and on holiday as a skipper or climbing instructor for children.
------------------------------------------------------------
Philosophy:
Almost everything can be easy, and almost every problem have a solution. So don't worry in advance and instead of being sad just work it out.
The most important thing in the world is to be open minded. To accept different ways of thinking and behaving. And to talk. Find new ways.
So I'm trying to learn as much as I can. I'm trying to talk as much as I can. I'm trying to become a man like Edmund Dantes (The Count of Monte Cristo). And I'm trying not to loose myself.
I'm trying to open my mind for all arguments and build on them my point of view.
I'm trying not to require anything from others but instead to give them me and my work. I'm observing and talking an example from those who shine. If there is work to do I usually just do it. Only sometimes I'm getting frustrated that it's again me who is doing something when the rest do nothing. But usually in that case I also do nothing, only my staff (because why I should work for lazy friends :')
I'm trying to make the world around me the most wonderful place ever. To edjust thinks I use. To spend much time with friends. And to find time for myself in everyday hurry.
I'm trying to shine with happiness and calm. And I think I usually do :)
Just be happy and open minded :)
---------------------------------------------------
Current missions:
Study
Climb, run, stretch and take care of my body (learn sth about diet also)
Meet new people and new cultures. Travel and help travellers
Find friends for a long journey. Maby around the world :)
Smile and be happy. It's strange, but sometimes just a smile can change someone's day.
Know people from all over the world. Stay in touch with them (also to have first hand informationes about the world's conditions). To have some friend everywhe I go.
Be a friend of the Earth. And of animals.
And I should learn more languages but unfortunately the day has only 24 hours so I'm doing my best not to force locals to speak English.
Sharing happiness :)
If you read all of this you're probably a great guy :) Please tell me if magic exists. And if yes give an example :)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I dream about having somebody I know all over the world. To talk and to travel.
I want to help travelers in my city and to talk with them. To give others that what I can give.
While traveling Couchsurfing gives an opportunity to meet locals. They show their place exactly like it is. And they know where to eat :)
And I hope I will meet here some amazing and crazy people who'd like to circle the world with me :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Traveled the main red path in Poland in 14 days.
That's the longest path in Polish mountain (500 km).
Pretty long walk - not sure if gonna to try sth like that again (in such a short time ofc).. Went there this summer, just to see old friend - red trail. And after few days thought "damn! How I did it???" Maybe thanks to company, maybe sth else - don't know. But for sure it's amazing :)
Teach, Learn, Share
I can try to teach you everything I know. Polish, diabolo, climbing, trampoline jumping. Everything I only can.
And I want to learn from my guests and people I meet as much as it's possible :)
Last time it happened that a guy at the street asked me for cigarette and when I said that I don't have any, he turned round. I thought he walked away, but in a few seconds later he hit me in face from back. Luckily he was completely dopy and easily I escaped, but I realized how important it is to learn self defense. So if you could teach me something I'd be glad.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Everything I have while traveling.
I can teach you how to play with diabolo (if I take it) or how to speak Polish, how to juggle and how to open a banana (I've spotted monkeys so I'm pretty sure I do it correctly :')
I can cook dinner help with housework or do everything to be useful and pleasant guest :)
