About Me

I'm a student of international economic relations, nature lover, amateur musician and explorer. I'm working in social start-up engaged in innovational education and I'm very proud of what I'm doing. Generally, I'm very into social issues and very happy to discuss different approaches and worldviews. I'm a language freak - I believe that it's not only about understanding what people say but how they think and it's just so exciting! I'm trying to help people and make a change in the world so I'm concerned about human rights protection and creating awareness for needs of other people in my environement. I love spending time with others and that's why I'm so eager to go cross the world and meet as many fascinating people as it's possible! See you somewhere there!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel and I find people the most interesting discovery on the way. I really care about good stories and learning different points of view. It happens quite often that people are more interesting than the place I'm about to visit so I'm quite grateful for Couchsurfing as it makes my travels far more exciting!

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC
...has to bring emotions! I love to hear passion, good lyrics and beautiful melodies and I'm not attached to any music genre. I enjoy indie folk, rap, electronic, sung poetry, latino music, anything what makes me want to dance and lip-sync while walking down the street!
I take my ukulele anywhere I can, I love playing the guitar by the bowfire, I meditate by playing on my piano and when I feel confident enough I even sing quite well. :D

BOOKS
I'm very into non-fiction, psychological and travel literature, anything that allow me to understand people better and learn more and more about the world. I have a strong sentiment for Polish poetry, nothing makes me more intrigued than witty words constructions and feelings inclosed in understatements. And yeah, I'm a hopeless case of romantic here.

MOVIES
or rather series. I'm a great fan of Sherlock Holmes series, The Crown and Game of Thrones. I'm just a total British accents freak so in fact I just love British productions and actors.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's more about a unique moment I could enjoy than a thing that I've done but...

It was singing with friends in three-part harmony slavic folk song while bathing in hot springs in the interior of Iceland and then listening to elderly trio of fellows from Austria singing their Tyrolian folk songs and sharing wine with us.

That memory always reminds of magic hidden in people, places and music.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to share good thoughts, hold real conversations and learning another's point of view. I expect to broaden my horizons by getting to know people all around the world so if you have valuable ideas to pass on and I'd do my best to return the favour.
I can give you some tips about places I've been to, show you around the city I live in, tell you about culture of my country or region and I can try to teach you some basic Polish if you wish! I also like to discuss about social issues and compare them between countries.

IF YOU WANT TO STAY AT MY PLACE please consider following issues:

I'd love to be able to host everybody anytime but I'm sharing a flat with three other girls so it's not only up to me if I can decide to do so. :( Sometimes they are out it's so rarely that I'd rather to stay up on "Not Accepting Guests" status than have to decline you so often. I share the room with my guests so I prefer to host girls only. But I always will be happy to hang out with you so always make a try! :D

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share happiness, smile and energy, I'm overloaded with those while travelling! And there are also pretty songs and nice stories, and a bit of naive belief in beauty and sunshine in the world that challenges us every day.
I also like to share some observations about people and social phenomenons, I can tell you something about Polish perspective, mentality, maybe dispel some myths and give you a whole new image of the nation and the country itself.
