About Me

I consider myself as open-minded, sensitive and helpful person. Sometimes it's hard for me to overcome shyness. I think I'm a good listener.
It's quite hard for me to sit still, I like to move a lot a try new things. I enjoy creating stuffs, even if they don't really make sense on first sight.
I enjoy traveling, exploring new cultures, new places and traditions. I'm hungry for new experiences and knowledge. I'm into fine arts and graphic design and I'm definitely typography geek. I'm well educated in the art history and would love to share my knowledge and interests in that area with you. I really do believe in what I'm doing and in the power of graphic design. I also enjoy things that most people could call weird or ugly, but I always like to find something interesting about them.
Currently I came back from exchange in Belgium to Poland to finish my bachelor degree.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would love to travel more and more and more. I think Couchsurfing is an perfect tool to meet great people with different views and interests. I want to make new friends, learn more about the world and myself. Share my knowledge, sensitivity and energy.

Right now I don't have a flat on my own, so I can't really host. But Im happy to meet with other people and be a guest if someone would like to host me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I like to enjoy my life and celebrate every moment by doing ordinary things unusual way.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can tell you a bit about polish culture and learn you some worlds.
I'm very into visual art's, design and typography so I could tell you about that to. Teach you some programs If you wish. Drawing classes? No problem. Let's create something together!
I have been practicing yoga for quite a few years now (with a break though) and I can teach you some basics.
I can cook! (and I have the perfect recipe for morning pancakes) ;-)
