About Me

CURRENT MISSION

College graduates usually try to find a permanent job, but I'd be happy to go travelling after my current contract will finish in December. Hoping to see a bit more of Europe, perhaps...

ABOUT ME

I'm 21 year old Commerce graduate, currently working in an engineering company that has extended my summer contract, because I'm the best Document Controller Assistant they ever had, or at least that's what I like to believe. Born in Poland, but moved over to Ireland 8 years ago, have been on an exchange in Australia last year, where I was introduced to participate in Couchsurfing. I can't cook so whoever has been making dinners for me and I liked them, man you're something! I enjoy spending time on the beach but also like the busy city centre, however now I'm exposed to Irish weather, so I really appreciate every sunny day there is! Some people say I have two livers because I never get hangovers. I guess it's the Polish AND Irish strength in me... :)

PHILOSOPHY

Go ahead and take chances. You may not have the same opportunity twice!
Stay true to yourself. If you wanna do something then go and do that, don't follow the crowd if you want something different for yourself. Be your own boss.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been travelling in Australia last year and I have stayed with amazing host, Hoyt, where I met other Couchsurfers. Now that I'm back to living with my parents (not for long hopefully), I can't really host people, but I'd love to meet up!

Interests

Water sports: tried swimming, scuba diving, kite surfing and surfing so far. A bit obsessed with Victoria's Secret. I like to learn new languages and be able to say: hello, thank you, cheers & kisses in these languages, at least.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went across the globe to Australia. At first it seemed like a mad idea, pulled out of nowhere. But now I can say anything is possible!
Also climbing Gunung Rinjani in Lombok, Indonesia, and watching the sunrise at (almost!) the summit, after a hell of a trek, filled with pain and tears, was one of the most proud and rewarding experiences.

Teach, Learn, Share

I always like to learn a new language, even just a few phrases that I can add to my international dictionary.
I would also like to learn how to dance, in particular Latino dances. They say I got some moves, but there's always room for improvement.
Since I'm Polish and I live in Ireland and I don't have hungovers, maybe I could teach you how to drink and 'have two livers' :) results are not guaranteed!
In college I have done an elective called Introduction to Massage so I can teach and give pretty good massages.
I also like to treat my girl friends with doing their manicures, so if I have some nail varnishes on me and few creative ideas, you maybe lucky enough to have some beauty time!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Great stories of my travels, and college experience, and what it is like to have a second home in Ireland and even call Galway my 'hometown'. I'm not a great cook, but I love to bake, especially cupcakes! Just let me know, and I will make sure I have the recipe with me!

Countries I’ve Visited

France, Germany, Greece, Indonesia, Italy, Netherlands, Northern Ireland, Spain, United Kingdom, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In
