Overview
About Me
Hi, I am 18 years old law student based in Pruszków (town 20 km from Warsaw, PL). I am originally from Kashubian region, which unique culture and language are one of many subjects of my interest. Right now, I work in Marketing (in a corporation, I know: BORING!) but from time to time I work as a filmmaker. Usually, I can't stay put and therefore, I engage in many initiatives, mostly local volunteering. I am interested in IT, old polish music and traveler books. I've always loved to travel (and hiking!), and I saw many interesting places in Poland (many of them you should definitely see too) and since 2018 I've also started my international experience. Furthermore, I am in love with Montenegro and Azores islands and can't wait to find new 'loves'.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Basically, with my travels, it turned out that I absolutely love to talk with people about their cultures and mine. This cultural exchange is for me crucial, and it boosts me every day, I am the person who is looking for cheap flights to go anywhere... I believe that I could give you a nice view of my country and if the dates fit also B&B (in my place or my friends'). If you are not a talkative person then don't worry, in many of my travels I left room before 8 in the morning and I am back with dusk, trying to see as much as possible.

Music, Movies, and Books
Oh boy, there is a lot. Music is one of my greatest passion, and I am trying to listen and to know about music from all around a world and from all genres. My favorite movies are: 'Whiplash', 'Cinema Paradiso', 'Good will hunting', 'Coco', 'Scent of a women' and polish classics as 'Kogel-Mogel', 'Nigdy w życiu', 'Ranczo', 'CK dezerterzy'. I love to talk about movies, and my best friend is a movie freak who is always ready for a little argue over 'The Godfather'. With books, I was raised with them, and I was reading in every possible moment. One of my favorites are Pushkin, Czechow, Lem, Wolter, Miłosz, Hłasko, but I basically read many (sometimes weird) very different books.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
In my secondary school I won a Polish edition of filmmaking contest: 48hfp and I was representing Poland in USA
Teach, Learn, Share
I I have experience with giving private lessons from Math and English, I can teach you how to make pierogi, how to sing (I am in a choir), how to play guitar (but I am not a professional, I learned myself from yt)
I can tell you about Polish, but also European history.
And many, many more...
