About Me

Hi,
I'm an "almost graduate" student from Poland, who likes traveling and meeting new people. Currently I am in the USA, where me and my 2 friends are about to make the trip across the whole country.
I like psychology, B- class horror movies, cooking and traveling.
Those are the movies from my previous travels:

Have fun:)!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My friend recommended the portal because it's full of active and positive people. I would like to meet some of them. Maybe we will share some things together and when I'll be back in Poland I can be a host too :)

Currently I don't live in Wroclaw, Poland because I travel in United States, but my parents will be more than happy to host you (60 km from Wroclaw, Namyslow town), so feel free to ask if you're interested :) Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the inside of my home, but as you can see there is plenty of space, so it won't be a problem!

Interests

I am looking mostly to meet new people, but if it's possible I would like to stay overnight and be on the road the next day. I also love visiting places with local people, so frankly it's even more important to have a cool guide than actually have a place to sleep :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a huge fan of metal and rock bands, I even played in the band as a vocalist and lead guitarist.
My favorite movie is, without a doubt, "The Lion King". It is said, that it's for kids, but to this day I think it's one of the most beautiful stories ever told. And I love Hans Zimmer music too :)!

My favorite books: "1984" - George Orwell and "The Witcher" series - Andrzej Sapkowski

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelled across Europe with my friend (Bart) to Valencia, Spain in the Auto Stop Race (hitchhiking race) in 80 hours. We've travelled through Germany, France and obviously Spain. Almost no sleep, just trying to catch a ride all the time. Great adventure and story to tell :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to teach my way of seeing the world. I don't plan ahead into the future, but I perceive life as a mountain hiking trip. You usually plan where will you stay, where will you camp, but not me. I think it is better to have a bag pack full of food and provisions to make sure you can change everything in one moment.
My bag pack is my experience and my provisions are my assets I can use at any time. I would like to share it definitely ;)

I would like to learn how local people perceive their place. I wish I could understand the differences in the attitudes and their mindset. I would also like to know what makes the particular place so special they decided to live there. I would like to hear their story.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Except the positive attitude and the good atmosphere I can share:
a home made meal - people say I am an excellent cook. Do you want to try my chill con carne ;)?
when in Wroclaw, I can offer tour, for I know both history and some unusual stories about my beloved city
small dwarf figure - symbol of my city, Wroclaw.
Awesome Polaroid photo together, which I can leave and give at the end of our meeting :)
