About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm a girl next door with my own dreams. I'm nice but I won't let somebody to hurt me. I like to meet new people and I don't forget about old friends. I try to trust my intuition, because it's always right. Honestly, sometimes I'm too lazy and I have my head in the clouds but I'm able to fight when I care. I still looking for my own way in this world and I don't give up ideals.

PHILOSOPHY

My philosophy of life is being happy. Not only in the good moments, but when life seems to be gray and monotones. I want to fight with my weaknesses and search for things that I'm the best at. The most important things which stimulate me to live truly are Faith and Love. I still believe in people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was on my first trip with CS in Sweden, Norway and Estonia (February 2012). Great experience!
Second time - Barcelona! Only one word - Wooooow!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have only positive experiences with CouchSurfing! Wonderful option to meet people and different cultures inside!

Interests

I like being active, so I can't imagine leading a sedentary life. I like skiing, bicycling, horse riding and recently running. But when I'm tired and I need time on my own I love to close my eyes and daydream while listening to good music. I like all things related to relationships. I regret not studying psychology but I'm afraid that theory would kill my enthusiasm. Now I finish my pedagogical studies and I'm going to work with children, so it's great too!
I love music and singing in a band.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite: Myslovitz, Coldplay, Coma, Yann Tiersen, Gorillaz, Hey, Gorav Bregovic, Damien Rice, Muse, celtic/irish music

Films: Especially psychological, dramas and biographys.
Favorite: Green Mile, Forrest Gump, Memories of a Geisha, The Butterfly Effect, Requiem for a dream, Slumdog Millionaire, Amelia, Atonement, The lovely bones

Books: Desert Flower, The White Massai, Maria Pawlikowska Jasnorzewska’s poetry

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In March 2011 I was in Tunisia as... a journalist! First of all it wasn't safe, because of the revolution, second of all I didn’t have experience in working as a journalist. I have never been doing this before! Our team and I was staying at the hotels and filmed of the most beautiful places of the North Tunisia. It was a very spontaneous trip and I will never forget it.

I would like to learn English well. But in my country we don't use it in every day life. That's why I want to talk with You guys! A lot!
