CURRENT MISSION

live a simple, peaceful life

ABOUT ME

I try to keep my mind open and my heart gentle and kind. Sometimes shy, sometimes talkative and outgoing, I'm always eager to travel and learn life lessons. I feed my soul on literature, music, and art, though I'm not myself an artist of any sort. I like to get a little wild, not so much at a crazy party, as in the vastness of nature. I'm a scientist and a hippie at heart. Let's share what best we've got.

PHILOSOPHY

To BE, not to have.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host and surf. I can sometimes take travellers to my family's summer house in Mazury (the land of thousand lakes).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosting and travelling with the HC (username Magdah) and CS has been a truly enriching experience.

Interessen

I like the simple things in life: fresh air, water views, slow food, live music. Nature, literature, and going places. I think learning a new language is like acquiring a new life. Always facinating.
