ABOUT ME

Hi! I'm Ania. I grew up in Poland, moved to Ottawa, Canada in 1990, after having worked for 18+ years joined the redundancy club* in 2008 and a few weeks later embarked on what I'm doing to this day, which is travelling indefinitely. I would like to look after people's homes and pets while they're travelling too. As a traveller I'm pretty low-maintenance. I love to meet people and just wander around cities on foot, being a cheapskate. I enjoy sailing immensely. I would like to learn how to fly, I already took a couple of lessons ! I don't really care to go clubbing or stay out till stupid o'clock any more, but I'm more than happy to put the world to rights over a bottle of wine.

* This means I got made redundant, or in Americanspeak, laid off. As in, I lost my job. It's been a tenuous existence ever since...

PHILOSOPHY

"Spend each day trying to be a little wiser than you were when you woke up."

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Excellent. What a great way to meet like-minded people. I strongly believe that travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living !

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Hitch-hiked through the United States from coast to coast, then south to the Mexican border, Gulf of Mexico, Florida's Keys. We met lots of incredible, friendly people on our way. We had a little tent but hardly used it as we were being invited to private homes all the time to spend a night or more. I guess one could say it was kind of old fashioned couch-surfing, lol.
