CURRENT MISSION

See (and eat) as much as I can

ABOUT ME

Cześć, I'm Agata, and I love (surprise surprise) traveling! I am a freelance writer wandering this world for the last 6+ years. I lived and visited many countries, and Couchsurfing is one of my favorite websites to meet new awesome people on the road.

I love books, food, adventure, and sports (especially hiking, yoga, and rafting), and I'm always open to new experiences. I'm mostly vegetarian (I love fish and seafood too much to stop). Currently trying to stop my coffee addiction.

I'm a rather easygoing person, and I don't make any problems, except for those I make to myself (I often have bizarre accidents like setting my hair on fire).

Right now, I am traveling through Southeastern Asia with my Ecuadorian partner Ismael, who is a rafting and kayaking instructor (you can see him in the photos). We are both super relaxed, flexible, and spontaneous, trying to accept whatever life brings us.

PHILOSOPHY

To make my life as funny and weird as humanly possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

AMAZING! Every host I met so far is a great and interesting person, I hope that one day I will have a house somewhere, so that I can pay it up to the world and let people stay in my place.

• Getting stuck in Ecuador during the pandemic and making it into a two year trip around the whole country

• Traveling deep into the Amazon jungle with randomly met Jehovah's Witness group

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some Polish, English and Spanish, how to play ukulele, and show you how to make my favorite dish in the world - traditional polish Pierogi.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer you my endless appetite, weird stories, abstract sense of humor, deep interest in random topics, polish hospitality, my party-loving nature, and neverending faith that people are not so bad
