Hello!

We are Alicja Nauman (22 years old) and Dominika Wróblewska (28 year old), a couple from Warsaw capital city in Poland.

Daily Dominika works in an well known NGO in Warsaw, where she runs a project which aims to support gender equality in polish media. Alicja has just finished to write her thesis about Chechen women living in Warsaw. In October she will start a second degree in History of Art at the Warsaw University. She also plans to make a documentary movie.

We both are born in Poland, but Alicja part of her childood spent in Paris.
One of the most important values in our relationship is to travel and see the world from diffrent perspectives.
La vie est belle!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We are begginers here:)

We decided to start couchsurfing because is more interesting to meet new people from all around the world, than to collect diffrent views of reception desks in hotels. Also we love to cook and eat, and we hope to exchange diffrent recipies with our future guests and hosts;))
We want to make D.I.Y scratch book with the recipies from all over the world:)

Interests

We have a loooot of interests, because we are very curious vagabonds!

Mostly we are planning where to go next, or what to eat next:)
But we do sometimes more sophisticated things like:
- social activism (feminist, human rights)Our goal is to smash patrirachy!!
- talk a lot with each other!
- listening all the time the same music(sometimes we are boooring, eh...), but sometimes Dominika spents a lot of time searching for new tunes. Usually she finds really great stuff. Music is veeeery important to us.
- watching movies, and series of course!
- nature! Specially MOUNTAINS!
- reading books
- riding BIKES!!!
- laughing a lot!!!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We have met each other and start to love our life:)

Teach, Learn, Share

We stand against any form of violance and discrimination, also in global context. Is why we try to live in an ecological way, and involve in life of our community. We belive that it is very important to do as much as possible to strenghten selfless relationships between people. It's why we support different kinds of exchange of skills, knowledge and material things, without money being involved in it.
We belive in social economy!
We travel to learn new skills, new philosophies, and diffrent points of views from others.
