About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Combine work with travelling

ABOUT ME

Just finished university, now I begin my so called career as a dentist :)

Love travelling, being on the road driving somewhere, enjoy listening to people who live interesting and laid-back lives
I often find myself wasting time planning trips that may never happen and watching the world from above on Google Maps and Street View :D

Huge fan of extraordinary local food, that's a vital part of travelling!

I like spending my free time cycling (road bike recently) or running, (however I often experience lack of motivation for the latter), reading, checking out cars on the internet, watching movies (and trying to not fall asleep in the first hour)

PHILOSOPHY

Stopped having any, you never know what life can bring.
However I do like to convince myself that people are truly good-hearted and helpful, even despite the fact, that more often it turns out to be just the opposite, but it's always worth trying.
Definitely stop overthinking problems instead of finding solutions by doing something!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Personally I find CS a perfect way to break the borders between people from different countries, representing different cultures and different religions.
I also try to show my friends and family that meeting people and staying at their places instead of sleeping in a sterile hotel is a better way of travelling.
When visiting someone I always try to tell them about my country as much as possible - hopefully one day they will visit Poland and find out how beautiful it is.

Interests

travelling, cars, motorbikes, bicycles, movies, medicine, gadgets, books.. Much more, I don't have just one particular area of interest, it depends on the mood and people I spend time with

Music, Movies, and Books

All movies with Al Pacino, De Niro, Statham, and directed by Scorsese
Depends on the mood: I usually watch the less stupid part of the mainstream movies

Music: alternative rock, indie, classic rock, a bit of rap, electronical, I am open to new sounds but I don't go crazy about one particular genre.

I am trying not to get into types, genres, sorts, kinds, categories, just trying to find something that suits me and gives me the emotions I need at a particular moment

I starred in the main role in an episode of a soap opera in Polish television :D
Slept in a tent above the clouds on the slope of Rinjani Volcano in Indonesia
