About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel around east coast of America and return in one piece as a person with new insights

ABOUT ME

In first moments I may seem like a reserved or quiet person, but I'm only getting used to people and deciding what I can expect from others. Once people will spend some time with me, I'm very open-minded,funny person with unique opinions. Sometimes even a little bit crazy, spontaneous or some would say that weird. I just love being an individual, not a sheep in a herd.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't rely on a fate. Make your own one!
World is my playground. Do you want to play with me?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can't host in my current situation. So it's mostly about attending events, local meetings and meeting new people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had participated in few events in my hometown. Currently, while I'm in the USA, I would like to try the surfing and experience it for myself. Stories I've heard were nice but how does the real thing feel? That's what I want to know...

Music, Movies, and Books

I especially like Rock music and that covers for Punk and Metal as well. But only for normal variations of it. Lately I've been into Oldies, mostly the 90's ones. Generally, I don't like Hip-Hop and Dance music especially the modern styles. But, I can enjoy every sort of music, as long as its good and catchy. If I'm satisfied and I like it, it can be absolutely anything from some punk, pop, hip-hop, metal, dance, Oldies, or even something from stuffs like Dubstep, techno or D'n'B but these are very rare exceptions...
I'm a person that listens the same music, bands and their albums over and over again for years, I'm also very reluctant when it comes to adding some new bands to my repertoire.
Favourite bands - Linkin Park, Rammstein, Sum 41, blink-182, The Offspring, System of a Down, Bowling for Soup, Ine Kafe(SK)

When it comes to books I don't read that much, but in general I like fantasy and sci-fi books. More than books I'm more interested into reading japanese manga which I'm also collecting.
Favorites:
Books - The Witcher, Harry Potter, Warcraft Series, fantasy gamebooks
Manga - Dragon Ball, One Piece, Bleach, Toriko, Death Note, Hajime no Ippo, Blue Exorcist and lots more

Concerning the movies, I'm not so into them and I'm having a huge gaps. Don't ask me if I saw this or that movie, my default and most usual answer is no. I rather prefer series or an anime.
Favorites:
Series - Prison Break, Lost, Smallville, Game of Thrones, Heroes, The Simpsons, StarGate(SG-1,Atlantis,Universe)
Movies - Star Wars saga, Forrest Gump, all MARVEL & DC based adaptations
Anime - that would be a really long list

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visiting Pamukkale, Turkey. The magnificent view of the natural terraces from white mineral had left me speechless

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to improve my English through communication with others. I think that's more beneficial than sitting in a school and learning some technical stuffs in English class. I would also love to learn all kinds of languages even the few words or lines. It's cool to know the foreign languages. Personally, one day I'd love to know languages like: English, Spanish, Japanese or Chinese, Italian and Polish. And of course any other that i will have the chance to learn. Like i said, it's cool to know a lot of it.

When it comes to other things than languages, I'm an open-book. As long as you're willing to share anything with me, I'll listen! And it could be everything, from culture, cuisine, amazing experiences, history, places of interests, skills or interesting facts.
