About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm just trying to be a good person :)

ABOUT ME

I'm a calm person, not searching for problems however I appreciate adventure, exploration, meeting different cultures and points of view. I might be shy at the beginning but I'm good listener and appreciate to share all types of stories. I'm trying to look on the bright side of life.
Am I a bit removed from reality? Yes, it happens sometimes but it's me, I'm not pretending.
I have few professions: first I'm a puppeteer - I have been working for 8 years in the theater playing in shows mostly for children. Second profession is a licensed tour guide - I'm taking Polish groups to Canary Island and I'm hosting foreigners in Poland. Since 10 years I run a travel blog with my friend so it's more a hobby but it became quite serious as it was our job. Nowadays I'm mostly editing videos for real estate.
I'm kind of still looking for my own path.

PHILOSOPHY

Keep dreaming, make this dream come true, and than have a new dream again.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For a long time I was just a CS guest because I've been traveling for almost 4 years in Asia and Australia.
Now I'm back to Poland and I'm happy to be a host finally :) As an active cyclist I'm participating more in warmshowers.org which is hospitality community for cyclists.

Traveling is taking a big part in my life since I remember. It gives me opportunity to try something new all the time. It is wonderful to observe normal, daily life, to taste local cuisine and just to feel the atmosphere of a place right here and right now.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm very thankful to all my CS host. They made my travels very special and helped me a lot!!!
I never had any bad experience, it was always interesting to meet all these people :)

Interests

I like riding a bicycle coz it gives me crazy feeling of freedom, hiking in the mountains and almost any outdoor activity, I can swim for long time - love it so much.
My latest passion is nature medicine knowledge and Reiki which helps me a lot in may daily life.
Expansion of the universe and existence of other dimensions are ones of my favourite topics - my mind is just blowing up thinking about that.

Music, Movies, and Books

BOOKS
I really like all books which arouse emotions or which are telling interesting story or showing some different reality or explaining how something works.
MOVIES
So many. I just can't pick up few, coz it's unfair for all the rest of dozen good movies. Once again. I love good stories also art aspect of movie. Sometimes if the movie I watch sucks but I love one actresse or actor I'll watch it again just to see and appreciate acting. Beside I like to watch old movies, which I've already seen like 10 years ago, just to check how my perspective has changed.
MUSIC
Generally I appreciate many kinds of music depending on mood. The closest to my needs is soul, jazz, RnB. However there are few kinds I'm not in love with: disco polo, italo disco, country.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every new day looks amazing to me :)
I have been traveling for 4 years overland and oversea from Poland to Australia and back home.
That was my biggest and longest travel which I did with my former partner. We traveled mostly by hitchhiking, local transport, by our old 4x4 in Australia and than sailing back to Thailand where we bought bicycles and we rode back to Poland.
Once in a lifetime experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can create a puppet with any material. Totally useless but funny.
If you have some small issues with your bicycle I could have a look and maybe fix it.
Short or long Reiki session.
I'm able to not disturb if you don't need companion.
Still looking for somebody who will explain me how waves works (electromagnetic, acoustic).

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm more than happy to help you with any work at home or garden, prepare a meal or to talk about other countries.
