Overview
About Me
I'm Polish, I live in Warsaw and I study at the University of Warsaw. I love other countries, their culture and literature (I'm an art history and literature student).
If you would like to visit Warsaw, I can host you and show you around the place. I have my own flat with two rooms so one bed is alway free for people who want to be my guests. Feel free to write to me - if there's a reason for you to visit Warsaw, I could be your host.
I'm particularly interested in foreign languages, that's why I started to learn German, Italian and Chinese but I'm still green and I know only basics. I speak English and French fluently so there's no problem for me to comunicate with people who also know them. I'll be glad if you can help me with all these languages! :)
Interests
I love everything connected with humanities, especially art history and literature (which are the subjects of my studies at the university). I'm also keen on music (jazz, old rock, classical music) that's why I used to play guitar. I don't have time now to continue this activity but I can still play few nice pieces. ;) On the other hand, I really like popular culture (mostly because I'm interested in the mechanisms of its functioning).
