I was born in Poland where I had lived until I was 19. Then I went to visit a friend in Nice, France for a few days, but I fell in love with the area, so I decided to stay. I lived there for about 5 years. I got a degree in Linguistics from the Université de Nice, and met my future husband.
In 2008 we decided to move out of Nice, and finally settled to go to California. We’ve been living here since 2009, and enjoying everything it has to offer!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is like having friends all over the world. I’ve been doing it since before the site existed. I love the philosophy and experience of meeting people from different parts of the world and sharing a home with them, the apparent total strangers that become friends in almost no time!
