ABOUT ME

It's difficult to make a brief description. My friends would say that I am a calm, patient and helpful person rather optimist. I have 3-years daughter and thanks to her I can also learn creative thinking:)This year I started PhD studies in history (middle ages/renaissance).

PHILOSOPHY

I follow this philosophy: "Be merry, do good deeds and let the sparrows sing."

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can show some interesting places in Warsaw, teach you Polish or Italian.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am just a beginner but I hope that it would give the opportunity to meet interesting people. Before knowing CS I had similar experience at school exchange at secondary school - I've been hosted by German family and I've hosted a German girl.

Passion for the past - story and art, traditions, also personal stories told by people. Especially interested in Middle Ages and Renaissance.

Musica, film e libri

Favorite authors: Alessandro Baricco, Italo Calvino, Umberto Eco, Guenther Grass. Authors writing about traveling like Ryszard Kapuściński, Orphan Pamuk, Claudio Magris. I like also crime stories to relax for example those by Gilbert Keith Chesterton or Agatha Christie.

Music - classical music - Bach, Beethoven, Vivaldi, Palestrina
Italian pop music - Biagio Antonacci, Laura Pausini, Giorgia Todrani, Fabrizio Cristiano De André
Generally I am opened to various kinds of music I dont't like only heavy metal and techno.

There are some films that made a strong impression on me: "Picnic at Hanging Rock" by Peter Weir "Il Gattopardo" by Luchino Visconti, "Nel mio amore" by Susanna Tamaro and "Das Leben der Anderen" by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck.

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

One of the most amazing experiences was for me staying at Venice for six months as a Socrates-Erazmus student. I met a lot of people from many countries and indigenous inhabitants of Venice as well.
