For me, Couchsurfing is a way to make friends whose stories inspire me for years to come. I love it when, a year or two later, we bump into each other somewhere else and instantly feel like old mates.

I once hiked 120 km of the Lycian Way completely solo, carrying everything I needed on my back. In 2022 I opened my Warsaw apartment to refugees from different countries. One adventure happened on a mountain trail, the other within my own four walls, yet both taught me that courage and kindness are the best companions you can have.
