Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Inspire people & live my life in a way to make my dreams come true.
ABOUT ME
Optimistic and adventurous girl with open attitude towards world and people. Easygoing and able to enjoy simple things that life offers. Trying to live in genuine harmony with the natural flow of things and events. Also a dreamer. But a dreamer, who is not afraid to follow challenges and attempts to change the course of life. :)
In 2013 I went to Spain to do EVS project and I decided to stay for a bit longer... and here I am still. :) Now living in Barcelona.
I like listening to stories and chat about everything or anything over a glass of wine or just a cup of delicious and preferably Italian coffee. ;)
Definitely a cat-person, independent, having my own ideas for life. ;)
PHILOSOPHY
"There's far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
(...) You should never take more than you give "
"All it takes is one decision, a lot of guts, a little vision" - my motto :) If I decide I really want sth I'll try to do everything to fulfil my dream.
Life is for deep kisses, strange adventures, midnight swims, and rambling conversations, isn't it? ;)
"The Road goes ever on and on down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone, and I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet, until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet. And whither then? I cannot say"
â J.R.R. Tolkien (The Fellowship of the Ring)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Up till now I have been travelling quite a lot and staying in a few people houses, I hope also in some hearts of people I have visited. It has always been an enriching experience for me and I am looking forward to discover more!
Still I haven´t had the chance to host anybody yet. But I hope soon it will change. :)
In my hometown Bielsko, I have participated in a few CS meetings where I met friends and people who inspire me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Being an EVS volunteer!!! :D
Being an European Volunteer in Catalunya literary have changed my life. Also it was one of the best project I have participated in and trully recommend to all. :)
Working as a leader of international workcamp for young people from around the world. Living and working with them for two incredible weeks in the sheer middle of nowhere. :D
Four years ago I went for a amazing trip around European countries, "Eurotrip" as we call it. :) Two friends of mine and me were travelling by car for two weeks (short time, but possible). During that trip I had also the chance to meet other couchsurfers for the first time. Truly, it was an amazing experience.
Hitch-hiking around Poland and nearby countries with friends or alone. It gives me the feeling of freedom and joy :) You never know what kind of people you're going to meet, what life stories are you going to hear - that's the beauty of it. :)
Worked as an au-pair in London, England for half a year. Was looking after four boys, ah those were the times .. :)
Been to Greece for two months working holiday, did not earn much but the time spent there was great :)
