Hey! Glad to see you on my page! You can call me Al (I pronounce it like Elle). After finishing my university degree and having a couple of weirdly diverse jobs (I worked as an actress in an escape room, HR manager, teacher, even a driver) I decided to become an EVS volunteer. Right now I'm helping at the science exhibition in a beautiful seaside town in Poland, sharing a flat with 7 other volunteers from around the world, occasionaly travelling and exploring European countries. Next year I'm planning to apply for the Nursing studies. I'm an open-minded person, ready to talk about any topic and interested in knowing other people's stories and learning about their worldview.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd love to meet new people and have more in-depth and hands-on knowledge about different cultures and different world outlooks.

Music, Movies, and Books

I mostly listen to pop, indie and lyrical acoustic music, but I believe I have a couple of favorite songs from almost every genre! I enjoy watching TV shows, for who doesn't? :)
I've mostly been reading to popular science books recently (medicine, biology, astronomy, etc.), but from time to time I do really enjoy a good heart-wrenching novel or a mind-numbing thriller :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a calm person, who prefers sharing a conversation over a cup of tea or coffee rather than going out to party. But I'm always down for exploring new things and places! I respect personal space of other people.
I can teach some Russian language, a couple of guitar chords (only if you have zero skills, because I'm like 0.5 :D), I'm also good at snowboarding and, if there's a chance and you want to learn, with me you'll be up and shredding in no time! (not true, bruises are unavoidable at first, but it's great fun afterwards :D)
I can also teach some dancing: popping and contemporary. And, of course, I'm always up for a good conversation!
