Hej, hej!

My name is Alicja.

Currently I am learning front-end development technologies such as CSS, JavaScript and React.

I live with my boyfriend Maciek and our cat Luna in Krakow.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people, learn from them, visit beautiful places and see the nature all over the world.

I dream about visiting: Iceland, Kenia, Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand. Also I really wanna go to California - especially LA and San Francisco!
