ABOUT ME

Hello everyone! My name is Anton/Tony/Antoni/Antonio you can call me the way that you prefer.
I'm 26 years old. I was born in small-town Baranovichi which is located in a beautiful country under the white wings -Belarus. I was born in a Belarusian family with Polish roots. From a very young age, I was raised in both Belarusian and Polish cultures.

When I was 17 right after school graduation I moved to Poland to study.
I chose the beautiful city of Cracow. I fell in love with this city right after the first time visited it when I was a kid. I started an international economics study, which was very interesting and helped me to expand my horizons.
Now I am doing my second degree in Ethic Mediation and Negotiations.

I work in an international IT company as a purchasing specialist. I spend money $ :)

When I'm travelling I look forward to meeting new people, and new cultures, trying new things and implementing my new experience into my everyday life. I believe the best way to do it is just to enter a Couchsurfing community. There are so many nice people that I have met through this platform and hope I will meet more interesting and open-minded people in the nearest future.

PHILOSOPHY
My philosophy is to always stay positive and open-minded.
I consider myself a cheerful person. Life may be different sometimes, it has ith up's and down's but if your thoughts are positive and you go through your life with a head up high, there would be not many things that could let you down.
I'm also a tolerant person. When I get to know somebody first and fundamental feeling that I feel is respect for cultural background, lifestyle, sexual orientation, and any other personal aspects.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelling is my passion. When I travel I'm looking for a life experience, new friends and contacts.
I would like to get to know people and their everyday life in different parts of our planet. Developing my language skill is a thing which is going in this package. I hope to learn as many languages as I could.

Interests

In my free time, I enjoy listening to music, reading books, and having a nice long walk around the city or countryside.
Singing is a passion that I want to develop as much as I can. I take classical singing classes and sing at home as well. It's a lot of hard work and time to reach a good level of singing skills. I hope one day I will be confident enough to sing solo on the stage on my own.
But stage performances are not new to me, I also sing in the LBDTQ+ choir Krakofonia. Here are some records if you would like to listen to:

I love to learn new things related to Psychology and cultural differences.
Sometimes when the weather is good me and my friends like to go to the mountains, I don't do it often, but sometimes you need to walk through the forests breathe incredibly clean air and remind yourself that nature is very important.
