ABOUT ME

Healthy guy from POLAND, more than just a little bit crazy, exceptionally ab-normal person, God-Believer, keen traveller & walker, dreamer, guitar player and singer in my teenage years, photography & music lover, memories and landscapes collector, now hotel`s porter & concierge, I finished with all bad habits long time ago.:) I do not smoke, usually I don`t need alcohol as well in my life, but from time to time I need some lovin` & kissing just to check if I`m still mentally OK and my manhood didn`t disappear.:) Generally I make a lot of laugh about everything.:) Anything else? Just ask me if You need.:)!!!!!

It`s been already my fifth year of staying/living/being here in Cyprus and I am quite happy with everything I`ve found here until now. Always plenty of sunshine through the whole year (no winter and no snow of course - even in January we`ve got here 20 degrees Celsius), warm, azure sea where You can swim all year round, marvellous underwater life, celestial skies, wonderful, unspoilt, wild places full of charm and beauty, ancient ruins & medieval castles, alluring mountain villages and hiking trails - all these things make my heart fluttering.:)). Plus nice, lazy, relaxing job in one of the biggest and most famous 5-star hotels here without any real responsibility with a very good salary (usually we start from about 1000 euros here) and tips up to 1000 euros per month - it all makes me wanna stay here forever to uncover limitless serenity, tranquillity and peace in my heart & soul.:)!!! SO WHY NOT???

As You can see below - we uploaded about 500 pictures especially for all of You to encourage You to come and visit different parts of the island of Cyprus - and we hope that after looking carefully at these photos You will see & admit that visiting Cyprus can be a little bit more exciting, adventurous or funny than just having in mind the wrong opinion that this island is only for people who look after swimming and sunbathing the whole days in all these luxury resorts during eternally summer weather that we usually have here.:-))!!!

PHILOSOPHY

3 nice sentences/thoughts from my teenage years below.:)!!!

Even a journey of a thousand miles begins with one single step.:)))

Sunshine will always come after a storm.:))

Try to change what You can change, try to accept what You cannot change and always try to see the difference between these two things.:)

DANCE as though no one is watching You...
LOVE as though You have never been hurt before...
SING as though no one can hear You...
LIVE as though HEAVEN IS ON EARTH...

Please, take them into consideration... and never stop dreaming and loving.:-)!!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I always try to be a very helpful person, who says "YES" to all couch surfing requests - of course at least when I can.:))!!!

So do not hesitate and do not be afraid or at least try to ask me about almost anything - especially now when I work in the hotel as a concierge I have a great variety of knowledge about every touristic aspect of Your visit and probably morover.:)!!!

You can always treat me as the best source of informations about sites and antiquities, transportation & moving around here or there, car rentals prices, travel tickets, boats and ferries, special offers, bars/pub/shopping malls/shops recommendations, discos/clubs/bar/restaurants bookings etc...

These are the things that I usually/normally do here in the hotel for our guests.:-) Good luck!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well...we are no more beginners here..;)) Soon it`s gonna be almost three and a half years since we started to be hosts here in Cyprus and until now we have had about 50 very positive "alive" experiences, which You can read in the "reference" section (many more answering to different inquiries and questions through e-mails only), but we are still looking forward to many more of them this and next year.:)!

So welcome everybody to Your most hospitable "Cyprus family" in Lemesos with constantly open doors.:)!!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Staying alive during my visits to less stable and not too much safe countries like Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nagorno-Karabakh, Kosovo or Algeria.:)

Climing 40-metres high stone-sand-rock wall in Pissouri area without falling down to the rocky beach to finish my miserable existence - thanks to Bogus.:)

Roaming widely in the rough, severe and unpredictable Northern Territories of Pakistan where there is only one thing that is sure - tribal clan laws.

Getting a Master Degree in the Food Technology faculty after a few years of doing nothing.:-)!

Diving and snorkelling in the azuree, crystal waters of The Mediterranean Sea...

Helping the small, newly born baby turtles to make their way to the sea in Oman and Cyprus.:)

Climbing atop (what is forbidden!) of the famous Petra Monastery (Ad-Deir) in Jordan. The same about climbing Aphrodite`s Rock here in Cyprus (also forbidden!).
Anyway - I usually climb anywhere & anything what looks dangerous.:-) Looks like some king of sickness.:)

Risking my life in war-torn Lebanon and Palestine where bombs were blasting in nearby streets...

Flying airplanes since the very early age... first when I was a two months old baby... more than 60 flights until today... and still none of the fell down to the ground.:-)

Playing music as a guitarist and singing for the crowds of the hundreds of people during my teenage years in Warsaw.:)

Surviving fourth year in this crazy island of Cyprus... and hoping for more.:)!!!

Smoking a lot of shisha and nargilleh (and other stuff) in most of the visited Arabic countires and still not being completely mentally sick because of it...

Staying single (I rather mean un-married/bachelor) till the age of 33 in spite of many really great/wonderful offers from Serbia, Russia, Belarus and especially one from Lebanon... though I must admit that this situation is not considered as such a big success for my whole family.:)

Becoming more and ore popular, well known and respected host in Limassol`s CS society - sometimes up to ten e-mails daily with CoachSurfing requests (especially now when the season is approaching)...

Going for excursions every week to the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus for the last 4 years without being harmed, arrested, terrorized, killed and so on...

But I am still waiting for this special one... maybe our trip around the world will be this one.:)!!!

Well, anyting I would say... staying healthy and alive till my biblical age of Our Savour in the crazy world is also a big thing.:))

Teach, Learn, Share

Yhmmm... very important.:-)
