About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To talk with people and learn more and more every day

ABOUT ME

Hello! Nice to meet you

PHILOSOPHY

People need to talk and exchange ideas, we all can learn from each other. You just need to be patient, cautious and observant. I love nature. I love our world and planet and yet I do not agree with a direction it goes. So we need to fight. But with no violence. Violence always leads nowhere!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Been hosted once in Krakow, been hosted by some great Iranians, willing to host and to be hosted in future

Interests

I am deeply interested in cultures of the world, especially in the so called Middle East and Africa. I study arabic language and culture, I love music and literature of those places and I want to spread a word about it around so that more and more people will get to know about each other and we may understand ourselves better and not kill each other. We should finally get to the point when we are all equal.

When you go to cinema of listen to radio in Poland, all you get are American and European artists - thats not the way it should be, world is bigger then that and I am willing to change this!
