Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

For the first time it took place in Hungary at the turn of the October and November 2011. I did it together with my roommate Izka with whom I lived these days. We surfed in Eger. It was an awesome experience which broaded my mind and soul, and make me belief that people can be fantastic and trusthworthy. Thank you guys for that feeling.

Interests

Sport - running, walking, hiking, indoor cyckling, volleyball, skiing etc.
Foreign languages - I am fluent in English (that's my personal opinion), I've been learning Norwegian since my Erasmus in Bergen and continuing in Wroclaw, I've had some French in high school and would like to get back to study it one day.
Traveling - since I went to Norway as an Erasmus student in August 2010 I felt irresistible desire to explore new places and meet new people from different parts of the Europe (so far).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitch-hiking from Wroclaw to Cracow (around 300km) just because of the shoes which weren't available in Wroclaw - appearantly they weren't in Cracow either and we have ordered them from Bydgoszcz to Kielce (from where my roommate comes from) during our way back from Bielsko Biała. The best thing is that I had already had them.. these ones were supposed to be for her ;)

Eger, Hungary - being in a room when everyone is speaking a language you don't understand - and still being able to laugh along with them is an enlightening experience

Spontaneous hitch-hiking with my friend along the Czech Republic to Cracow.
