Couch Information


     << CouchSurf with Franek Przeradzki!    

Couch Available: Yes
Preferred Gender: Any
 Wheelchair Accessible: Yes

Max Surfers Per Night: 3

Shared Sleeping Surface: No
Shared Room: Yes

There are two rooms and separate kitchen and bathroom with toilet in the flat. Living room is for guests, so If there is more then one, you might share the room.

Quite recently moved into a flat in Warsaw district called Kabaty. It's quite far from the city center, but transportation is convenient. It takes about 10 minutes to walk to the Kabaty subway station, and then in 30 minutes you are right in the city center. Warsaw subway is a nice thing, only one line though.

The couch is Ikea Manstadt - really comfortable bed for 2 people. I also have inflatable matress, so if you ok with squat-like conditions, 3 people can squeeze in the living room. Flat is 48m2, so not to big.
No pets, no smoking, but traveling spirits and stories more than welcome!
I travel a quite lot for work (I'm ski and scuba instructor) so my life is not that organised and I'm often out of town.
If I have time i can show you around, but can't promise that. I'm more into idependent travellers, so you can sleep here and do whatever you like - if I'm not busy I'll help you, if I'm, it will be just like hostel, except you don't have to pay. The fridge is often empty, so don't count on this one to much. Still, tea and coffe are always in.

I have some sleeping bags, loundry machine, warsaw map, Poland lonely planet guide etc. 4 days is probably too much, but you never know...
I'm perfectly ok with short notice, as long as I'm here

Personal Description

I'm open and friendly person, unfortunatelly often quite busy. I study sociology and I teach people to ski in the winter and to dive during the summer. Have to make a living, why not that way?. I hate staying in one place too long, and so I try not to :) Right now I've finished one year long round-the-world trip and I'm struggling with finishing Uni. Need to write me thesis on tourist guidebooks and I'm done

CouchSurfing Experience

I couchsurfed in South America, New Zealand and China during my round the world trip. Hopefully it is just the biginning!

Aaaahhh... who's my daddy???
Franek is a kick arse guy! Perfect in many ways. Hilarious, active, energetic, and crazy combined with serious, dedicated, intelligent and composed. He's a hopeless drinking companion, but he makes up for it with his funny antics. Love him to pieces, admire him, and think the world of him. Top bloke this one. He's defo a good egg!

Franek is the most adventorous polish guy I ever met. He has a great humor and is very talkative. I think one of the only thing that can make him quiet is 6 Long Island Iceteas - but then he also becomes very quiet! :)

I haven't had so much fun for a long time! Franek surfed my couch only for two days so we had to do a crush course of Beijing. Thoroughly enjoyable experience! See you in Warsaw! :-)

Great guy! He told me all about my Polish family name. He brought me a bottle of much-appreciated wine. He volunteered to sleep on the floor when the apt became a little crowded with cs'ers. Generally a good time. Make sure you keep him well-fed though...you'll never hear the end of his hunger pangs ;)

After having Franek over, I'm now making a point of not leaving Chinese spirits in the house when Couchsurfers from Eastern Europe come to stay! But the hangover was definitely worth it. You'll have good times with Franek, and he has a very good "Couchsurfer's 6th sense"

What to say about my brilliant travelmate, who I met at a hostel and with whom, a few hours later, I was on a weeklong roadtrip of a lifetime through New Zealand? Armed with inspiring tales and hilarious storytelling, you can expect intellectual conversation and constant entertainment. Amazing guy.

Hosting Franek and his mates was very quick and easy. They arrived long after dark and left before noon, but over breakfast their interesting travel stories and Franeks brilliant sense of humor were shared. If I ever get a chance would love to hear his full travel story. I understand why polish TV did a piece on his travels! Id watch it!

Frantic Franek is great company to travel with! His ideas about love are both inspiring and lunatico .. travel w/ him for a while or offer this sympathic Polish guy a place to sleep. You won't regret ...

I met Franek through a good friend of mine and we keep in touch since then, and we even chat from time to time. He's a very friendly and trustworthy person, and I'd recommend him as a host and as a guest to anybody!
