About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Grab whatever life brings - TODAY!!!

ABOUT ME

I am a constant seeker, an adventurer looking for new challenges in life and searching for interesting people with open hearts.
I am trying to live each and every day as if it was my last one. I find happiness in small things around me.
A day without a laugh is a wasted day to me :)))

Travelling has become my great passion recently and so I am trying to live my own "discovery channel" in reality, throwing a backpack on my back and crossing distant continents.

I keep on learning new foreign languages, assuming that with every new language and every new person I meet I discover something important: I learn about the world and about myself through peoples' eyes.

PHILOSOPHY

Finding life's equilibrium by always being myslef and by really following my dreams.

Trying to give to people the best I have, my optimism and a smile ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For the moment I am just a surfer but as soon as it is possible I hope to be able to host others too. For now if you need a guide through Warsaw (mostly Warsaw bars hahaha) I can show you around :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Until now I have hosted my friends from diferent countries and friends of my friends. My couch seemed to like it a lot ;)) so I thought it'd be cool to carry on and to meet new people from all over the globe and get to know their ideas of life.
I participate in CS meetings and I truely enjoy it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing up a mountain wall in Italy while having terrible fear of hights and not knowing how-the-hell-I-should-go-back-down! and at the same time giving thanks to those who made me do it for the views of the sea and mountains from up there were more than worth it.
