CURRENT MISSION

Currently I'm living and working in France.

ABOUT ME
I'm rather joyful and full of energy; I'd like to contribute something valuable to this world. Being close to people, discovering and trying new things, diversity and being able to live my dreams are the most important values for me. I love to listening and telling stories. I can just sit down in a random cafe in a small Portuguese town and to feel happy just because of being alive. I enjoy being on the road, I don't mind inconveniences, lack of money, or language barrier - wandering around is what I never get bored of. I usually don't really prepare my travels, and I would rather compare my way of traveling with quick jumping into deep water. I just jump and then I'll see what happens (what usually happens is a really long and enjoyable "swim" through stories, small towns at the end of the world, loud big city streets and shitty local bars :))

I don't need much to be happy - my loved ones, strong black coffee and a nice view is more than enough. I'm sensitive and I enjoy the beauty of people and nature.
I can travel alone and/or accompanied - I find both valuable, I like to share my journey with my beloved ones as much as I like it to be more of an introspective experience.
l'm in the constant research of my place and purpose in this world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My passion for traveling has started because of Couchsurfing. I remember only good experiences and helpful people.

Interests

It's hard to say what i'm particularily interested in. I don't have that one big passion, but i have lots of interests - books, travelling, conscious living, vegetarian/vegan cuisine, languages, ecology, history of art. I also take analogue pictures and I develop them in my darkroom when I'm not travelling :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I love weird and aesthetic stuff. Jim Jarmusch's movies, Kundera's books, Tove Jansson's writings. One of my favourite Polish writers is Olga Tokarczuk. I read a lot, and i can't really tell my favourite book title. I love unusual stories, but also reportages and biographies.

I like every kind of good music :) sometimes I feel like listening to Tinariwen, all kinds of cumbias or asian mantras, and sometimes I'd rather choose Stones or Velvet Underground. I have also a thing for music from the 90's, especially when I'm drunk :D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm not sure if any of this is amazing, but I'll give it a try:

I learned French and moved to Paris when I was 23.
I traveled alone for 4 months in South America, with a very small amount of money, without camera or phone, volunteering in Amazon forest and hiking mountains and I learned a lot on my way (not only Spanish language :))
I hitchhiked almost everywhere in Europe, accompanied and alone
I moved to Iceland, worked in a vegan restaurant there and cried while watching Northern Lights
I tried surfing in Peru,
I lived in a tiny cabin in Norway, in the middle of nowhere
I survived a motorcycle ride in South East Asia
I slept under the stars on Sahara

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn every interesting thing. I can teach you French or English, how to make a good vegetarian dinner, how to travel on a budget, develop a film in darkroom.
