About Me

An extroverted introvert - I enjoy just as much partying, dancing, socializing and exploring lots of different, sometimes crazy things, as quiet walks in nature, meditating, tai chi, and generally solitude, to create things or to ponder the meaning of life, usually with a cup of green tea :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I went to a CS meeting purely by chance and I'm really glad that I did.

To me, apart from the obvious great things such as travelling and meeting people from different countries and cultures, there's just something really special about CS that goes way beyond that. I guess since it's an opportunity to meet like-minded and open people, that one can sometimes truly connect with, even just after a few minutes of conversation.

I have met so many wonderful people who have inspired me greatly, in ways that I would never expect. So many wonderful conversations, ideas, and new ways to look at life.

I haven't done that much of actual Couch-surfing, but I have attended a great number of events, increasingly co-hosting and hosting my own events as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Flash mob dancing in the middle of the day in Warsaw's Old Town. A very liberating feeling :-)

An ancient 1000-repetition training of a single tai chi move - at a campsite in the middle of the forest, with 120 practitioners from all over the world, at night, with torches and music. Amazing.

Yoga workshops at the Polish sea side. There's just something about yoga, sand and sea air, they just go really well together :-)
