Hello! In my life I have done the things many people do: living the student life, graduating and got a job. However, I was always interested in alternative ways of living; in farming, communities, self-sufficiency, being close to nature, reducing my footprint... I am very far from an expert but I like to see how I can implement small things in my life. In the summer of 2019 I quit my job and started volunteering in various places in Europe with families that have consciously chosen a lifestyle that suits them. I helped renovating an off-grid house, was in a community, worked on a farm and did goathearding in the mountains. And this is where I am now, still on the road. So far it has been super inspiring and educative. During this trip I heard many great stories about couchsurfing and although I already had an account, I never dared to actually do it. But since I heard all these stories I cannot wait to try couchsurfing myself.

Dlaczego jestem na Couchsurfing
I have my couchsurfing account for a while, but never used it. Friends have told me about their great experiences and now I am ready to try it myself! :-) I really like the idea of having more unique and new experiences by staying with a local which I would otherwise never had. I like to see how you live, to meet you and to share stories and experiences of different cultures and to add a little to each others lives.
Jedna niesamowita rzecz, którą zrobiłem/am
Cycling along the Dutch islands, painting a huge world map on the wall, hiking in the Pyrénées, goathearding in the mountains, walking the camino de Santiago, bathing in an outdoor bath under the stars
Ucz, Ucz się, Dziel się
I can teach Dutch and some English. Share cooking, recipes, and maybe a little yoga.
Moje zainteresowania
I start to get more and more appreciation for nature and I enjoy being and living outside, learning from and about nature. I really like the idea of self-sufficiency, permaculture and natural building. My hobbies are outdoor sports and activities, reading and yoga. I would like to learn more about foraging mushrooms and edible plants and astrology.
