Born in Poland, studied International Relations in London and Sydney. Currently interning in Brussels in the human rights field.

What stands out about me is my desire to constantly grow and expand. I’m always on a search for new interests, books, films, recipes. I like to keep my calm by establishing a healthy routine, but then live off my comfort zone most of the time to challenge myself and learn. I have a passion for theatre, film, literature and a strong desire to contribute to building a more equal and safer world. That means you can hear me talking about all-things-politics a lot. Moreover, I work on myself a lot (yes, that includes meditation, journaling, you know the drill) and enjoy meeting people who are mature and self-observant.

I cherish time on my own but will most definitely be happy to hang out while traveling. However, I’m an independent person and will not hesitate to call out inappropriate behaviour.

Also - very much a nature person. Waking barefoot, swimming naked, camping and hiking are some of my favourite things in the world.

CURRENT MISSION

Learning to overcome fear in order to fully become who I want to be. That means a lot of exploration, trying new things, learning.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me, traveling is a way of embracing a different lifestyle almost - the one of freedom, excitement and kindness. Meeting people while traveling is one of the most immersive parts of it.

I’m passionate about the exchange of energy and experience and that’s what couchsurfing has given me so far.

Interests

Very much into arts (both creating and admiring) and politics. Currently exploring photography, film, documentary-filmmaking, contemporary dance.
