Overview
About Me
Hi
I'm a very energetic, extroverted girl who loves playing the guitar and singing (I'm an amateur). I LOVE having deep discussions about topics ranging from space and politics to Minecraft strategies and coming up with alternative origins of institutions (f.e. how was the world wide ambulance system created?). Don't worry, those are not the only things I talk about.
I don't smoke, but I don't mind if you do and I'm EXTREMELY allergic to dogs.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Right now I'm doing a gap year and I want to visit as many countries as possible. On my upcoming trip I'm planning on visiting 10 European capitals. Additionally, I enjoy learning about other cultures from the locals and hearing stories. I adapt really easily, so if f.e. you have a busy schedule I will try my best not to disturb you in any way.

Music, Movies, and Books
MUSIC
I'm not gonna lie, my favourite music is all over the place. It comes and goes in phases, some of which include metal/rock (f.e. Black Sabbath, Motorhead, Metallica, Dorothy), the classics (The Beatles, Queen, ABBA, Elton John, Boney M., David Bowie, Electric Light Orchestra, Stevie Wonder), oldies or old sounding (Chuck Berry, Frank Sinatra, The Postmodern Jukebox covers, Sammy Rae & The Friends), current pop scene (Will Wood, Harry Styles, Bo Burhnam, Ethan Bortnick, ASHE, 1D, Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Lovejoy, Adele, Avi Kaplan, FINNEAS, Lin Manuel Miranda).

BOOKS
One of the best books I've ever read are: "What if?", "How to?", "The Narnia Chronicles", "Percy Jackson", "Illuminae", "Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage", "21 lessons for the XXI century", and "The Tattoo Artist from Auschwitz". Each and every one of them made me love it for a completely different reason and was unique in its own way. I read most of them more than once, because they were so good.
PODCASTS
I'm an avid podcast listener and honestly can't get enough. My favourite shows are: "Heavyweight", "The Editing Podcast", "StartUp Podcast", "The Colin and Samir Show", "How I built this with Guy Raz", "I Spent A Day With...", "Dear Hank and John", "DeepMind: The Podcast" and many more!
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Last September me and my friend rode 700km with our bikes in 2 weeks, while visiting ALL the lighthouses on the Polish Baltic coast. During that trip I collected around 50 postcards from the cities we were riding through. We slept in a tent while the temperatures were still bearable and then in local guesthouses. It was one of the best experiences in my life!!
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can definitely teach you the basics of playing the guitar (I'm gonna bring one with me!), share the insights about the polish culture and sing popular campfire songs, trade many stories and I could help you with some house work. We could also make a traditional polish dish together or I could write you a song before I leave :))
