Overview
About Me
I study media and live in Warsaw. For two years now I have been involved in a students organization that celebrates diversity and one of it's core values is being a global citizen by meeting and respecting other cultures. I am obsessed with multi-culti way of life sooo I will ask a lot of unusual questions like what is your traditional Christmas Eve dinner :P I'm spontanous and try to live by the moment and the adventure.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I truly believe that in order to really see (maybe even touch) a city you have to know people from that city. Sighseeing with a guidebook is nothing compared to sightseeing with a local. Over the past few years I've developed many international friendships all over the world and I'm still hungry for more.

Music, Movies, and Books
Red Hot Chili Peppers' music is the soundtrack to my life. When I was little my dad used to put their songs on whenever we were roadtripping. I enjoy all kinds of music honestly but preferably I listen to rock and rap.
When it comes to movies and books I'm a Potterhead and I belong to Slytherin so mind your words, because Draco's father will hear about this! Crime, mystery, musical, superhero (is that even a genre?) I will watch them all.
Oh and probably my favourite of all books is "The Picture of Dorian Gray" by Mr. Wilde.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
One time I went away with a bunch of my friends for a weekend. It was June and heat wave came to Poland so everyday the thermometer showed digits over 30 degrees. The last party lasted until 6 am, well, at least I was still dancing at 6 am :p Somewhere in the middle of the night my friend and I decided that throwing everyone into the nearest fountain is an icredible idea. Before we dragged everyone out we tried it ourselves. To say that the water was cold is an understatement - it was freezing! But kinda refreshing freezing. In wet clothes we got back to the party and rushed people out to eventually throw them into the water. We spent a good 30 minutes there running around and splashing everyone and everything around. Finally someone called it over and sadly we left the fountain. Or so I thought. At the very end of the night my friend threw me over his shoulder and ran to evntually throw me into the water one last time. The next morning I discovered many bruises all over my legs and some of my clothes were ripped.
Teach, Learn, Share
Get yourself ready to learn Polish! Polish 101 class guaranteed though I don't guarantee big success... I speak a little bit German and Spanish, well, more German than Spanish and I pretty much take any opportunity to practice either.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can share unlimited amount of Friends lines and refrences - mostly from Joey. All the crazy stories of how I introduced internationals to Polish culture and the memories I've made with them in Warsaw. I will be glad to cook something tasty and meatless for you - beet burgers ftw! And laughter, I laugh a lot all the time even at the stupidest thing, my inner silly is strong.
Oh and if you like sports then we can talk about tennis, voleyball and football, I'm currently internshipping in a football club.
