Travel information

I am currently

Description

My name is Maciej (Matthias). I study Civil Engineering in Wrocław and I am traveller. I have discovered workaway after beeing on 6 Erasmus+ projects and volunteering as a scout. I am keen on tourism including hiking, biking or cross- country skiing and I find it as a goal itself.
These vacations I rode by bike 480km from Wrocław to the Baltic Sea coast.
During my studies in every weekend I spend one day hiking in local mountains, Sudetes. These are one of the oldest mountains in Europe!
I can't wait to see Alps and Carpatian mountains.
I often come to my family house to take care of my family, especially my 3 years old brother, but I also have 2 sisters (I am the oldest). Moreover I have a dog which likes sleeping.
I am ambivert. From time to time I need to spend time alone, but I generally like spending time with others (I get used to because of my family).
I don't like noise and racket. I find it really exhausting.
