I am a young student from Poland who loves to travel, but I am quite new to couchsurfing. I study law and economics but I try to become the „man of renessaince” which means I am interested in gaining knowledge from every source and in every subject. But of course I have favourites such as latin language, philosophy, art, history, culture of european nations, politics etc. etc. Apart of these I really like working out, swimming and playing football.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The idea of this app is so incredible it is such a shame I discovered it so late. There is nothing better than talking with people from over the world, getting to know their cultures and traditions and finally discovering that despite all differencies we are ale the same human beings :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I travelled to the north of Iceland just to see the shipwreck of a US army. Thunderstorm made this experience even more unforgettable…

Teach, Learn, Share

Non in solo pane vivit homo…

I think I would rather live one day as a lion then whole life as a rabbit...

I don't know why but I have to admit that I really don't like people who just "check" on their checklist monuments, museums and cities without even knowing (or trying to acknowledge) what they are looking at. Like only to share photos on instagram to show everyone where they've been.

Life is so short that sometimes it just feels so strange not-to-do something. You will never have a chance again so, just do it :)

Sometimes it is important to look at life from the objective perspective - not everything looks the same
