Hello everyone!

Greetings from Alicja, a passionate explorer hailing from the enchanting city of Szczecin, Poland. Currently, I have found myself nestled in the captivating city of Toruń. As a student of cognitive science, I possess a deep understanding and fascination for the intricacies of the human mind. I find great joy in unraveling the secrets of our cognition and engaging in stimulating conversations about the wonders of the brain.

My love for travel knows no bounds, as it fuels me like the very essence of life. The world is my playground, and I relish every opportunity to immerse myself in diverse cultures, meet intriguing individuals, and revel in the beauty of nature's tapestry.

While my heart guides my adventures, my passport always has a watchful eye from my ever-attentive mind. With an insatiable appetite for new experiences and an open-minded approach to life, I embrace the serendipity that comes with each journey.

I eagerly look forward to connecting with fellow adventurers and creating unforgettable memories through Couchsurfing.

Safe travels and warm regards,

Music, Movies, and Books

Let's delve into the captivating world of literature, movies, and music, where my personal favorites hold a special place in my heart.

Books have always been my refuge, transporting me to enchanting realms of imagination. Amongst my cherished literary treasures, "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Bronte stands tall, with its tempestuous love story and hauntingly beautiful prose. Milan Kundera's "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" captivated me with its profound exploration of existence and human relationships. And who could forget the poignant and darkly humorous masterpiece that is "The Mighty Angel" by Jerzy Pilch, a work that delves into the complexities of addiction with raw honesty.

In the realm of cinema, I find myself drawn to diverse narratives that challenge conventional storytelling. "Shrek" reigns as a delightful animated gem, effortlessly blending humor and heart with its endearing characters. "The Killing of the Sacred Deer" presents a chilling and thought-provoking tale that lingers long after the credits roll, exploring the depths of human morality. Bernardo Bertolucci's "The Dreamers" bewitched me with its sensual and evocative portrayal of youthful passion set against the backdrop of a politically charged era.

Music serves as the soundtrack to my life, and my tastes traverse a wide range of genres. The pulsating beats of melodic techno resonate deep within my soul, with artists like NTO crafting soundscapes that transport me to euphoric realms. Psytrance, with its hypnotic rhythms and otherworldly energy, takes me on exhilarating sonic journeys courtesy of talents like Astrix and Blastoyz. Yet, my appreciation extends beyond electronic sounds, for I find solace in the enchanting melodies of classical compositions, particularly the transcendent works of Claude Debussy.

Soundtracks from movies hold a special place in my heart, as they evoke the emotions and memories associated with the films that have touched me. The musical genius of composers like Hans Zimmer, Ramin Djawadi, and Alexandre Desplat adds depth and resonance to the stories on screen, drawing me further into their captivating worlds.

While these favorites hold a special significance, I remain open to exploring new genres and discovering hidden gems that ignite my passion for literature, movies, and music. The beauty of artistic expression lies in its boundless possibilities, and I eagerly embrace the journey of constant exploration.

Let us embark on this cultural voyage together, sharing recommendations and uncovering new treasures along the way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I began to live in harmony with myself :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Knowledge is a treasure meant to be shared, and as a student of cognitive science, I am eager to engage in thought-provoking discussions about the intricacies of our minds and cognitive processes. Whether it's delving into the mysteries of memory, exploring the depths of perception, or unraveling the complexities of decision-making, I am thrilled to share my insights and foster intellectual growth.

What I Can Share with Hosts

In addition to the knowledge and passions I've mentioned earlier, there is another exciting dimension I bring to our potential Couchsurfing experience - a treasure trove of stories from my solo travels. As a passionate solo traveler, I have ventured far and wide, immersing myself in diverse cultures and embracing the beauty of the unknown.

I believe that stories have the power to transcend boundaries and connect us on a deeper level. I eagerly await the opportunity to regale you with tales of my adventures, sharing the thrilling moments, the unexpected encounters, and the personal growth that has unfolded along the way. From navigating bustling cityscapes to venturing into remote corners of the world, I have experienced the exhilaration and challenges that solo travel brings.

Listening to your own travel stories and experiences would be an equal delight. Our conversations can become a melting pot of travel wisdom, where we exchange insights, tips, and recommendations for future explorations. Through our shared narratives, we can ignite the wanderlust within each other, inspiring new destinations and encouraging a spirit of fearless exploration.

Whether it's navigating the narrow alleys of ancient cities, finding hidden gems off the beaten path, or immersing ourselves in the rich tapestry of local customs, sharing our travel stories will create a unique bond between us. These stories hold not only the adventures but also the personal transformations and profound connections made along the way.

With an eager ear and an open heart, I invite you to join me in a storytelling journey, where we can weave the tapestry of our collective travel experiences and uncover the beauty that lies beyond the maps and guidebooks.

Looking forward to the exchange of stories, laughter, and the inspiration to embark on new adventures!
