My name is Jan Kardasiński.

In life, I value friendship first and foremost. I love to spend time with my relatives, my friend Max, cousin Wladek, sister Ewa. I'm keen on meeting new people, too.

Every day I spread myself too thin. I often run into the frenzy of searching. The best example of this is a list of books I have started and not finished yet. However ,I'm working it :)

My first and foremost inspirations are people close to me: Mum, Dad, sister Ewa, Władek, Max, Grandma, teachers and tutors , hmm ... a list is quite long to mention so I will stop at them.

I like traveling, especially hitchhiking and bicycle.
I love to make travel videos here a few of them:
-- TransAlp Adventure: https://youtu.be/BqLWdBxJiwo
-- Tanzania Kilimanjaro: https://youtu.be/NT0trnMZNFA (English subtitles!)
-- A birthday present for my sister Ewa in Iceland: https://youtu.be/f-8bgBKF0VQ (English subtitles!)

As an actor, I play in theater, film and series. I like it very much. As an example, I give a link to a funny advertisement in which I played a vampire:

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I love meeting new people. I think that this is the best form to get to know the country. And the friendships that come with Coachsurfing are invaluable!
