ABOUT ME
My cellphone in pOLAND +48 794 266 205
* * *
I'm energetic, optimistic, and with a million ideas.
I have a good sense of humor and during 90% of my life I find myself in a good mood. I like meeting new people, traveling and learning foreign languages (forgive me my mistakes :)
I'm doing my 2 years world trip, trying to see how much I can, and learn about myself. In the future I want to be life coach (like my dad), so traveling is very helpful. I'm still trying to come back studding but for the person who like move around it's difficult :) Life will show my future, I'm always doing something special, so future will be also special
PHILOSOPHY
"quidquid agis prudenter agas et respice finem" - Whatever you do, do cautiously, and look to the end.
______________
Relax and take it easy :)
______________
Nobody's perfect.
______________
I believe in karma: You will get how much you gave
______________
Our life is to long to not think about it , but it's to short to get an answer for all questions.
* * *
More important than your philosophy is: do I use my philosophy in my life. Like always it's easy to say, more difficult to do...
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I'm trying to inform all backpackers about CS2 and explane how to use it and being the part of this great program
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Before I start using CS, few years ago I invited Japanese friends form england to my house for the week. After 5 year CS was born, but I joined it finally in 2008 before my world trip. First surfing happened in very funny situation, I forgot keys to my flat when I went for CS meeting in Antigua, but my new friends help me and I spend grate night/after party, we didn't sleep but I can say it was my first experience with CS.
00. Surfed with HICKEY HILLIER in Antigua, Guatemala
01. Surfed with LUCHO ZUNIGA in San Salvador, El Salvador
02. Surfed with TOÑO CARTIN in Heredia, Costa Rica
03. Surfed with MEGATRAVELER in Gatun, Panama
04. surfed with JOJO in Papeete, Thaiti, French Polinesia
05. Surfed with ANIA KOPROWSKA in Sydney, NSW, Australia
I really like CS, and the idea of traveling and meeting local people. I think CS shouldn't be only way to travel, many people are using CS just because they don't have money or they want to stay free, witch is not a CS mission. I like CS but sometimes I prefer hostels.
Interests
Meeting new people, traveling, learning new languages, doing freaky things, throwing parties, teaching, talking about life and human opportunity, skiing water ski, juggling, riding my monocycle, cooking, sleeping :)
* * *
After pacific crossing, I'm really in to buying my own bout and go to see others islands. May by one day I'll go around the world, and host people on my ship:)
* * *
I think it's good to be interested in many things, but better than this is to be really in to it.
= Better quality than quantity :)

Like future life coach I love to observing peoples behaviors and helping them to get through the problems. I like to be wanted and teach :)
