ABOUT ME

Always hard to describe oneself - but I think I am keen on new things, love adventure and travelling, I like organizing things. I am a catholic, but I have great interest in other faith or confession and I like a lot conversations concerning this subject :)
I enjoy company of real friends but at the same time I try to be open to new friendship.
Besides I love sunrays on my face and sunny weather :)

PHILOSOPHY

"It's better to light a candle, than complain about the darkness." - Konfuzius

I try to follow this saying every day and brighten the world up a little, as much as I can.
For me I means, that nobody has to try the impossible to make the world a better place, but that every little good he does is a step into the right direction.
And if everybody tries there will soon be a sea of candles lighting the dark. ;-)
So don't complain, but be active!

What else?
Well I love life, and try to enjoy it as much as possible. I love it bustling around me, be it in the city or out in the country, and listening to it's song.
Life is great, so get out there and live it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

To get in touch with people from all over the world and explore true cultures and true people, not hotel world.
It's a perfect way to help make the world a friendlier, more inviting place, and a great way to meet people from all over. Understanding is key to getting along!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have already the possibility of experiencing the couchsurfing in Glasgow, Berlin, Gdańsk and Bratislava. All of them were unforgetable meetings! I am looking forward to many more!

Teach, Learn, Share

There's so much to learn! I'm terribly interested in people's views of government and politics, religion, how our brains work, social issues, and all those other highly contentious subjects. But of course, they don't have to be contentious if we approach the dialogue with the intent to improve our own mind, and not to change others'.
