About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Eat, pray and love

ABOUT ME

I graduated history and I work as a tour guide in Warsaw. I love my job, 'cause thanks to it I can meet many people from many different countries. I am very passionate about travelling. I think it's the best way to learn about the world and about myself...
Now I am attending lessons for tour leaders since I'd like to take Polish tourists to foreign countries in order to share my passion with them.

PHILOSOPHY

Belive in God! If you are an atheist, belive in Love!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am very glad when I can help people. And the CS is a really altruist idea :) I am surfing, hosting and attending the CS meetings in Warsaw and other cities.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My adventure with the CS started in 2009. Since that time I visited Lithuania, Marocco, Turkey, Israel, France, Greece and the States being hosted by locals. I welcomed travelers from Poland, Germany, Turkey and France in my place. Thanks to the CS I met many wonderful people.

I like reading old books, observing gothic architecture and listening to the rock music. I am addicted to meeting new people and discovering new places.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I participated in the Gwozdziec reconstruction project. Together with professional timber framers and volunteers I built a roof of a wooden synagogue. Our work is displayed now in the museum in Warsaw. I am still in touch with my American friends who I worked with.

Teach, Learn, Share

I do like meeting travellers and sharing my travelling experiance with them. I'm a huge fun of dancing and I can teach my hosts and guests some steps of rock'n'roll!
