My name is Aleksandra, I was born and raised in Poland🇵🇱, but I feel that my home is... the world!🌎

✨I have a huge curiosity about everything that surrounds me, a desire to learn, explore, experience. A childlike desire to discover. I grew up in a small town near Łódź (central Poland), then I went to study in Kraków (southern Poland), to settle there and spend 8 years. I finished pedagogical studies, started working in a children's theater, then in the Cultural Center, feeling that something was calling me, calling…

🏥In 2019, due to huge health problems, I started changing my life. I slowed down, started eating differently, practicing yoga, and became interested in natural methods of treatment. I went to the therapy and I started knowing myself better and better. In 2023, I dropped literally everything I had and went on an independent journey (me and my little dog). I packed my clothes in a backpack and flew to Bulgaria, near Sofia (the village of Gara Bov). I walked, absorbed as much as I could, helped the woman who hosted me grow vegetables, thought about life.

🫀One day, a man stood in my way, whom I loved with all my heart... following my heart, I went to Macedonia. 💒💍Today, Stefan and I are married, we are building our camper and we plan to set off into the world in November 2024. We were united by the journey, the road, the love of FREEDOM above all else.

🎵By profession, I am a teacher and musician. I play the ukulele, piano, drums. I collect unconventional musical instruments. I conduct sound therapy sessions, play concerts, write songs, melodies. My whole life is filled with music. I love it and every day I am grateful for the opportunity to share my passion with people. 🙏🏼

🕊️I am a person who loves movement, activity, action, but above all else values ​​silence, peace, routine.
☺️I am open and sociable, but it takes me a moment to get used to it and enter into closer relationships.
💓I can listen, above all I value loyalty and honesty, mutual respect and honest communication.
🍃Despite being sociable and loving people, I also have a great need for independence/solitude, which is why I often travel alone.

🚫🚭Sobriety and living in consciousness are important to me, which is why I do not take any substances that alter consciousness. I do not smoke, drink, or consume sugar.
🐄I eat vegan because I love animals and my decision stems from this love.

💕 Every day I expand my consciousness and learn something new. I read a lot, talk to people, listen to podcasts and absorb inspiration from the world, nature, and wildlife. People fascinate me - their stories, experiences, tales. I am delighted with butterfly wings, a raindrop running down the window or the wind playing a melody on birch leaves. I am sensitive and easily moved. I love children and animals very much. I love walking barefoot and hugging trees and singing to them.

I can’t wait to start my new experience with Couchsurfung! 🌞

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have dreamed of traveling my whole life. A year ago I dared to go to the Balkans by myself, I have slowly opened up to new things, but until now I have always used rentals or hostels. I would like to meet open and inspiring people while traveling, experience diversity. Using Couchsurfing is also a way for me to get out of my comfort zone and learn to receive.🙌🏼🫀💓

Interests

My whole life is connected with music, music fills it to the brim. I started singing when I was 5, then I went to music school for violin, then piano, finally rhythm. I have always loved musical instruments and singing, and I still do. I have two music bands - one is KUKU, with which I create music for children, the other is called "drzewo" - we play meditation music. I also run a business related to sound healing. I play gongs, Tibetan bowls, I lead relaxation and meditation. I sing my own songs, write songs, compose. Together with my husband, we play and sing traditional Macedonian music (my husband is Macedonian). Basically, I only don't sing when I sleep or eat (😃hahah!). I believe that music heals, heals the soul and body, and sounds have an extraordinary power. I am also interested in broadly understood personal and spiritual development. I read a lot of books on this subject, I am looking for my path to self-knowledge and happiness. I meditate regularly, I eat vegan (raw food diet), I know a lot about the holistic approach to health, I am fascinated by psychosomatics.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love traditional music/ethno music, electronic music and…a mix of them (orient electro, ethno electro). Music plays and important role in my life and I listen a lot. I sing traditional songs from all around the world (Polish, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Macedonian, Serbian and many others).

I love feeding my head&soul with positive and inspiring things. I love psychological and couching movies, biography movies and stories or fact based films. I love listening and reading about people who did something crazy or fulfilled their dreams (about alpinism, traveling, sports, musicians).

I read a lot about healthy lifestyle, detoxification and raw food. I read a lot of psychological books, books about self development, manifestation, affirmations, neuroscience.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In April 2024 I fulfilled my biggest dream and… shaved my head bald! 👩🏼‍🦲 My husband (that time partner) actually did it. I wanted to do it my whole life, I always wondered what it would be like to just have no hair. 🤭I was afraid of how the kids I work with or their parents would react, how I would feel, but… I followed my heart. I felt strong, free, and loved myself more than ever.♥️
