About Me

"Actually, the best gift you could have given her was a lifetime of adventures" / Levis Carroll

I just love traveling and meeting new people. There's no minute when I don't think of new destinations. I would rather spend my money on plane tickets than clothes!

I am one of those poeple with flexible personality. We can go for clubbing or to library. Sometimes I like to drink coffee in French-like cafes, another time I party hard till the sunrise. Driving go-karts? Walk in the park? Shopping in big malls? Building sandcastles? Everything is just perfect!

Altough I'm very open-minded and I like to know more about every little piece of the world, I'm crazy about my country at the same. I can talk about it for hours. I can find out advantages of almost everything which is Polish.
(Hey! Did you know, that for example Maria Curie, Frederic Chopin, Nicolaus Copernicus, Helena Rubinstein, Pola Negri or Joseph Conrad were Polish?!)
I also lived in France and Taiwan, so feel free to ask me anything if you're interested in these cultures.

I like music a lot so that's why I think music festivals are a great opportunity to mix both of my biggest interests, music and travels.
Come to Poland to check out our famous music festivals! They are just awesome.

I like to eat :) , so I'm interested in trying regional cuisines. Exploring new tastes is really exciting to me. What I really enjoy to eat is Polish soups and pierogi, and Italian pizzas and pastas. Oh, I can't forget - I'm addicted to chocolate.
I CAN COOK!!!

I'm kind of a nice person, alway smiling and looking on the bright side of life. I believe good people attract good people, good situations and... good food as well ;)

"She must be a variety.
Change so that nothing will change.
It's easy, impossible, tough going, worth a shot.
Her eyes are, as required, deep, blue, gray,
dark merry, full of pointless tears.
She sleeps with him as if she's first in line or the only one on earth.
She'll bear him four children, no children, one.
Naive, but gives the best advice.
Weak, but takes on anything.
A screw loose and though as nails.
Curls up with Jasper or Ladies'Home Journal.
Can't figure out this bolt and builds a bridge.
Young, young as ever, still looking young.
Holds in her hand a baby sparrow with a broken wing,
her own money for some trip far away,
a meat cleaver, a compress, a glass of vodka.
Where's she running, isn't she exhausted.
Not a bit, a little, to death, it doesn't matter.
She must love him, or she's just plain stubborn.
For better, for worse, for heaven's sake."

/W. Szymborska, "Portrait of a woman" - translated by Stanislaw Baranczak and Clare Cavanagh/

All about me! I love this poem

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CS is a great idea.
You can get to know local people and try new dishes!
CS people are usually open-minded. I think this is a better way to seriously travel than booking a room in a boring hotel!

Interests

eating & sleeping ;)
Just kidding! Oh, maybe not at all ;)
I do love to travel! And having fun either with my friends or with people who I just met.

I love every kind of fantasy - books, video games, face-to-face RPGs, even sometimes writing. If you are looking for some really good fantasy literature - check out Andrzej Sapkowski!
