About Me

The most important info - I do not do last minute requests. I travel between Poland and Australia and if I am in Poland, there is a high probability I am visiting friends/family in other cities. So if You want to meet me, let me know in advance :)

CURRENT MISSION

I want to try something new everyday (if You can offer me an activity I have not performed yet, I will be probably interested in trying). And make other people happy ;)

ABOUT ME

I am a bit complicated but you won't forget meeting me. I know how to listen to others and I am good at solving problems. I try to travel as often as it's possible because it's the best way to learn. I work a lot but know how to use my time wisely ;) Luckily for me I work online only, which allows me to travel few months each year.
I really care about other people. And I prefer surround myself with people who has similar attitude.

**************
PHILOSOPHY

Try to be good to other people, they deserve respect.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

After almost 10 years I can say that couchsurfing has changed my life. I became more open, braver and have no limits in choosing my next destination. I have met amazing people with even more amazing stories. However, I try to avoid those who look exclusively for free accommodation and give nothing back to the community.

Interests

I enjoy many things but so far travelling is my greatest passion in life. I read about two books a week and I always have a book with me. Art is also important to me. I enjoy architecture, going to galleries - that's my thing! I love animals and I am crazy about cats (unfortunately I have no pets at the moment). If weather allows it, I exercise my poor gardening skills (the best way to get those chilli peppers is to grow them yourself :) I spend considerable amout of time on my yellow bicycle and running (but I do prefer my bike). And I love cooking - I am ready to cook for my guests (although I am vegan). I write everyday, nothing ambitious but I like using words. I actually do write old fashion letters. OH! And I make jewellery and postcards ;)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - gothic/rock/ alternative and classic. Movies - mainly horrors (and of course later I am not able to go asleep) and documentaries. Favourite movies - "The Crow", "English patient". Favourite actor - Vincent Price. Favourite Book - "Wuthering Heights". And everything written by Agatha Christie and Jack London ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I quit my full time job and moved to China to teach there and few years later I left everyhing again to volunteer in Finland. I also went to Australia because I fell in love.

Teach, Learn, Share

I do not spend much time in my city so I may not be able to answer all your questions. But I try to stay updated about cultural events.
