Hi! I’m Maks, 23, from Poland. I’m traveling solo through South America with my backpack, open to any adventure or work that comes my way. I’m not afraid of hard work — I can help on farms, with building, gardening, cleaning, or any other tasks. I love the mountains, nature, hiking, and I hope to learn surfing along the way. Sometimes I play the drum and guitar, and I dream that during my travels some instrument will find its way to me — so I can learn to play it properly. I’ve worked in a workshop building Polish space rockets, so I enjoy technical and hands-on work. I speak English and a bit of Spanish, and one of my goals is to improve both while meeting kind people, learning new skills, and discovering the world. Maybe you’ll be the people who cross my path — helping me learn, experience new things, and get to know myself a little better.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet different people, to have a chance to live — even for a moment — through their lives, to listen to their stories and see the world through their eyes.
I’m frustrated with the idea of the monetary system and the fact that today everything has to be bought with money.
I miss hospitality, purity of heart, the will to help, the will to share.
I simply miss real exchange between people — that’s why I believe Couchsurfing is the perfect place for me!

Music, Movies, and Books

The music I listen to? It’s impossible to define. A lot of different kinds, but I really love oriental and folk vibes. I do read books — more and more over time — but unfortunately, I don’t have much time for movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There isn’t just one thing! There are many!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can throw in tons of random science facts, and I can teach you how to play one song on the guitar or how to juggle.

What I Can Share with Hosts

With a smile and a helping hand — I can help with repairs and basically with anything that needs a hand! Oh, and I can cook something tasty too!
