CURRENT MISSION

Keep my head up, keep my heart strong (:

ABOUT ME

I am not sure if there is anything particular that i should say about myself. I am a normal person that has dreams, some expectations towards life and just trusts that someday will be able to fulfill some of them. I think i am not being very greedy if it comes to that what i crave for. I am already happy enough and i reached this point when my life brought me a lot of satisfaction, would love to continue it that way. I have lived in few places out of Poland, but have never forgotten where my home is. I graduated from my university two years later than i was supposed to, but have never regretted the way i chose to live my life. One may say sometimes i am being irresponsible, but... There are so many different ways of living. I remember someone told me once that the biggest illusion is when we think that there is only one reality. Every time when i think about this sentence it makes me smile automatically. What else... Probably as everyone on this website-- i enjoy talking with people and getting to know other cultures. I believe life is very simple and as long as we want to get the best out of it, IT IS POSSIBLE. Nothing can stop us :)

PHILOSOPHY

The wisdom's in the trees ^.^

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I used to host a lot at my place in Krakow, would love to continue it that way, because i had so much fun while doing it. Now when i am back in Poland again, there is a chance to be back at this business too :D Even if i have no opportunity to host people for some reasons i will never hesitate to help--as it always makes me feel good.

I have done some surfing as well as tried my best to hang out with some couch surfers when it was possible.
Have met wonderful people, had mostly positive experiences :)

I hosted over 60 people (couch surfers with their friends, partners, brothers, sisters...) when i was studying in Krakow and here big "THANK-YOU" goes to my ex-flat mates, who were so understanding with my crazy ideas and accepted them all <3 I am looking forward to hosting more, hopefully sooner than i expect!

I did some surfing as well, around 20 couches during my trips. Got to know all those wonderful people and get memorable experiences.

Interests

When i have free time, i like to do everything that makes me happy. But it isn't something too profound. I like what everyone likes--for example meeting with friends, listening to music, reading books, watching movies, getting to know new people and i have to mention that i love to play foosball :) To make me feel better i need to see the horizon--i feel bad when there isn't any green around me. My loves are mountains, traveling, hitch-hiking, cycling and very recent: cooking and yoga <3

Just never have enough time for that... ).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think there are lots of things so far, even though i look forward to experience more of them :D

All the hitch hiking trip i have done sofar--it is always a really amazing experience and makes me awestruck of places and people's kindness all the time. I hitch hiked by my own from Portugal back to Poland, 4 000 km and i am still alive :D

I think i am experiencing great things and the beauty all the time. It is quite difficult to pick only one. Summer 2012 was pretty nice, when i was traveling across Canada. With the help of my friend i have seen two oceans for first time in my life, went through all country by every possible transportation. I fell in love with places and with people. Would love to go back there some day.

But i never forget as ordinary things as the pleasure of drinking beer with a friend in a nice scenery, walking barefoot through the moss etc.
Praia do Vale dos Homens in Portugal, the concert of the XX in Czech Republic, travelling on a very low budget for 3,5 month, staying without food for 3 days...
Aww just life :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach others how to be joyful about small things in life. I would like for someone to teach me how to improve on that matter.

I am not very skilled person, but i am always willing to learn from other people. I would love to learn how to play guitar, how to ride the horse or to speak Portuguese/Spanish...
