Hi! I'm Aleksandra from Poland and currently I travel around Asia. I have been excited about traveling since my family holiday when I was a child. For the last few years, it has become my dream to live in a foreign country and here we are! I was living and studying in Australia for over a year. I think the best souvenirs are memories, photos, and some local food but I can't refuse to buy magnets from each country. I like travelling solo mostly because I can meet more new people and have more space to try new things. I enjoy these spontaneous conversations with strangers on the street and observe like they become my friends.
Apart from traveling, I'm a dance lover. I dance zouk and bachata and I could do it all the time! It's even better when I can go to socials in different parts of the world to meet other dance cultures, for now, it's Polish and Australian. I will be happy to teach you some moves if you want to be a pro at your next party! 😉
During my previous travels, my sister was always taking photos so now when I travel solo I have to learn it by myself. So I'm also a photography amateur happy to take some photos, share and hear advice.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm going on a trip around South East Asia for a next few months. I packed everything in a backpack and I'm just going along! I hope to meet a lot of amazing people, locals and travelers on my way. 😊

Interests

I like many outdoor activities, camping, hiking, just spending time in nature. I walk a lot and I take many pictures on the way. I’m not really a party person except of latin dance parties!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In August 2023 I moved alone to study in Sydney. I've never been in Australia before and it was my first time living abroad. I still sometimes wonder where I found the courage to do that but it was somewhere and now I'm so proud that I made it!

Teach, Learn, Share

I would be happy to teach you some Polish and practise English. I would be also grateful for some French tutors. 😅
I could teach you some dance movements from zouk or bachata but also be glad to learn them from you so we can improve together.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would be really happy to give you a photo session so you will have a souvenir from me. 😊
But if you don't want to, I can also cook you some vegetarian food!
