CURRENT MISSION Escape London, stop procrastinating and work in China. ABOUT ME It seems your twenties are for discovering, so whilst others get careers I want to see and understand, but if I can just find a useful and ethical project to get my teeth into I'll be happy! After 3 years of procrastination I will go to live in China soon instead of just visiting. However, my couch is available until the start of September in London. Hopefully my couch will be available in China too. PHILOSOPHY The world will never be perfect but we sure as hell can improve it, and have a lot of fun along the way.

Dlaczego jestem na Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I want to help people get to grips with London, its a place tourists pay far too much to see, and what they do see is never the real London. (Don't go to Leicester square, please) COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE The best times I have spent in cities are with people who live there. Recently I visited a friend of a friend in Poland who decided that I should be passed from friend to friend across the country, ensuring I was given amazing Polish hospitality wherever I went!

Jedna niesamowita rzecz, którą zrobiłem/am
Out-drunking 5 Chinese English teachers in Fujian province, and then losing in a rice eating competition to a Chinese army officer.
Ucz, Ucz się, Dziel się
An encyclopaedic knowledge of London's greasy spoons, BYO restaurants, food markets, Sichuan restaurants, Curry houses and Sam Smith's pubs. You won't go hungry or thirsty.
Moje zainteresowania
