ABOUT ME

I came back to Poland from a long travel a bit more than a year ago. I'm bound by the project I'm working on with limited travel options. So, I bring travels to me by hosting travelers;)
Few years ago I fell in love with California, surfing and 'board' sports in general.
Since then I'm trying to surf and snowboard as much as possible.

Traveling for me is more than just an adventure. It's a discovery, of places, people and most importantly - myself.

Work hard, play hard.

PHILOSOPHY

We fundamentally believe in the power of nature to feed our soul

We want to ride energy

We believe nature calls us and challenges us to play
The electric feeling that comes when you challenge the forces of nature

We see barriers as inspiration

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My way of traveling is based on meeting new people and discovering places with them as they see it. Im not interested in visiting commercial tourist locations and museums. I like to live the life of the locals and feel the place as they feel it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Some really nice time spent on events. Some surfing in Paris, meetings in NYC. Hosting in Warsaw. Love Couchsurfing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I travelled to California, worked for 2 months, bought a car and drove it across the states. Few years later I came back to NYC to study at the NYFA.

Produced an amazing video game that was nearly impossible to make;)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some Polish language and take you to some great restaurants and bars. I am pssionate about cocktals and cocktail culture so I can teach you basic mixology as well;)
I do a lot of Improvised Comedy and Theatre and am open to share it!;)
If there is some snow or water around, we could jump on boards.

Generally I ve got lots of friends so learning Polish culture with me is fun. Trust me;)
