About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Work less and learn to play kongos :)

ABOUT ME

I always feel the thrill before setting off to a new place. I love meeting people, talking to them, listening to they stories, experiencing their talents and skills, observing 'street life'. I'm curious but not nosy! :) I also enjoy some quiet time on my own and I'm currently rediscovering the beauty of traveling alone :)

PHILOSOPHY

To accept the things I cannot change. To change the things I can. And to be able to recognize the difference between them.
Simple but still very powerful approach to life which grants respect for oneself and for other people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I work in Warsaw but live 30 km away from the city (30min by train) in a nice town called Grodzisk Mazowiecki. So if you interested in experiencing less touristic and more suburban Poland you welcome to use my couch in the living room. Grodzisk has nice parks, cafes and bike’s routs. I can also help the visitors around, recommend some places to see/ eat/ drink.
