ABOUT ME

Coming back on couchsurfing after long time of absence :)

I'm a 27-year-old girl now living in Warsaw :) Grew up in a wonderful city Brest, in Belarus. I'm a ceramic designer, make my own stuff, and provide art workshops with kids. Studying gestalt therapy meanwhile.

If you'll be around in Poland or Belarus- let me know :) Have a list of coffee shops to share ☆

I'm definitely a coffelover!! Whenever I travel, I need to find a place with good coffee. Or better the original way to serve that magic liquid !!!

The best way to start a journey is to buy a one-way ticket anywhere.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

People meet, share, learn and talk. And I like to talk. So that place is for me =D

I found my first couch in Düsseldorf, Germany, and it was wonderful! We had a good time talking in a bar and meeting new people. Couchsurfing in Italy, Hungary, Romania.
One day we can meet somewhere else in this world =)

Interests

I like to experience the world, or at least try to. That also means to experience myself. New places give me emotions to go on and start something new.
Ceramics and product design for me are the way to involve people in feeling objects around them, as objects change us everyday. I make utilitarian ceramics and art workshops, work with kids on camps and during festivals.

Brewing decent coffee at home :)
