About Me

"If people aren’t laughing at your dreams, your dreams aren’t big enough"🤪
so... dream big, sing, laugh, dance, always try your best, hug often, work hard and aim for the stars…

🤓I'm fascinated with new tech especially with the use of AI. Learning new languages is my passion as well🤓
I'm a curious traveller not a tourist.
Night drives around cities
Early morning walks when city wakes up
Love meeting local people and learning about their culture
I'm a dancing addict 💃🏻🤭
Mexican and colombian cuisine😋 were my love... until I discovered Turkish dishes 🤣
While travelling I discover myself de nuevo 😅
I love to experiment in the kitchen and learn new recipies. Tried to cook food all over the world.
I'm talkative as you can see🤪 but patient and like listening to people's stories.
I always come up with something new to do, discover or learn, I never get bored🙃

I can't host often. No time. I work a lot and raise 2 amazing kids. We usually host at our place those who we already met during travels, they some how became our "extended family" or close friends🥰 that's why I don't have references with one recent exception.
I have realized recently that I simply didn't pay attention to references. Those who get to know me or simply make friends, even through CS they stay for lifetime🤗 Reference isn't needed to make an amazing connection.

MY WAY OF GIVING BACK TO THE WORLD:
I have been connected to Global Volunteers organisation since I was 7 with parents, then as a student and now as a teacher. I try to inspire my students and some of them fall into voluneering and languages thanks to me☺💪
To let you imagine what is it about I will show you just 2 chunks of my 15 years of cooperation ☺
You will see how I work with my volunteers and students. No matter the school ans students age😁
Each visit demands from a lot of management and time, but it's worth the effort! It's usually 2-3 times a year. All of us, students, teachers and guests learn, make friends, share amazing moments and laughters.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In a daily rush I have forgotten about my mission while I was a volunteer which was "changing the world one smile at time" and I felt that there is something missing in my life... I realised that I need to be in touch with other people again, get to know different cultures, customs and traditions. That's why whenever I host an American volunteer at my school I always invite them to my house, guide them around my city and local tourist attractions... I haven't heard about CS until 2015 however, I was fulfilling CS mission :) It's never too late to start CS adventure!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One beautiful evening I decided to study Spanish at University without knowledge of almost any word 🤭 The best decision ever😊 show must go on... I decided to feel it... and travelled to Spain with the family CS two times. Amazing experience and intercultural exchange in Andalucia: Malaga, Fuengirola, Marabella, Ronda, Tarifa, Trafalgar, Carnaval in Cadiz and many more. Then of course Gibraltar and southern Portugal :) Later across Europę: Germany, Luxemburg, France and UK.
We made friends with fantastic people and shared enthusiasm. There were many CSs that hosted us or guided around their cities.Thank you all and see you in Poland one day!
