3.11.2024 - I am coming back here after (I think) 6 years. I am currently in the process of moving out, and I think I finally have some space in my life to give back what I was given. I just entered here on sunday 3rd and kept reading all those opinions that were gathered since 2012 when I left to study abroad and had mostly not returned till covid. This being said - it is almost midnight and I had no time to properly update my profile. Anyway feel free to ask, I ll try to help.

ABOUT ME

Hi I'm Tony (or if u prefer true Polish name - Przemek). I come from Poland, but now I do not have any fixed place because from World Cup in Brasil I am constantly travelling.

What about me? From the day I become Erasmus (exchange student) a lot of things changed in my life. For sure I am more open minded person then I was in the past, I become more brave and started travelling in the cheapest possible way! Right now I am kinda proud of my life and believe that this "holidays" will continue as long as possible!

PHILOSOPHy

Dont want to be taken as a person with stricte rules, but if I should say something, or put any quotation it would be:

"It always seems impossible untill it is done"

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am using CS during every travell, as much as possible ;)! It gave so many of good memories!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hmmm... All over the Europ, some in South America and already quite a lot in North America too. People are amazing and this webpage is awesome, cause let so easily meet strangers and helps them become best friends!

兴趣

With time everything changes.

I always had some philosophical thoughts about (my) life, and everything what is around me. Because of this I was frequently told that i find happiness inside small things which a lot of people dont notice.

From more 'normal' things I am interested in football, I was training table tennis also. From last years the most of all is of course travelling. Knowing the world without spending cents is awesome (althought after that much time its tiredful) even if u can't afford all the things u d like to.

• traveling
• football
• djing

音乐、电影和书籍

About music I divide for two types:

+ music, which almost everybody like
+Electronic (Dubstep) which is my personal favourite ;)
+ since I arrived to Mexico I start djing in the bars and clubs and I turned myself Reggetonero :D

Movies... Hmm i like what i find nice at the moment.

Books... From the time i wrote my book i m really into travel books because they treat about true stories.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

+Erasmus

教，学，和分享

Last days one of my friends had told me that I will have what to say to my children. Basically from the time I started travelling I have some stories to tell, so with pleasure I can share it with you ;). Once in Portugal I proved for a guy that you may set vodka on fire - simple, but how much of fun it gave...

I also speak fluent Polish, English, Spanish and/or Portugues (I understand both but the one I speak depends from the country I am) if you need a teacher.

I possibly could already give some dj lessons.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I could say that if you are nice to me I'm nice to you. To not look like self confident I may give better the example from my travel to explain.

There was once a situation when I stopped somewhere in Colombia in small town close to the jungle. I travel cheap so obviously when it got dark I went to ask police if they can host me or let sleep in the tent in some safe place. In the beginning they were rather like "no, no we cannot help you" and after 10 minutes I was already inside eating with them, joking, using internet. By the way I even took a shower :D.

By this story Im trying to say that wherever I am there is good energy around. More info about my stories you gonna find on my blog, facebook.com/autostopemnwd.
