About Me

I am a sociologist, but I work as an office manager at the ngo providing a space for international leaders. Actually, I was born to be the "commotion manager" because I am the organiser of everything - at least my friends say so ;)
I used to work at the oncological hospice foundation (where I met my partner) and now I am working at the ngo mentioned above, but I'm also doing an internship at the ngo working for the LGBT community.

CURRENT MISSION: to write a book about amazing people I've met <3

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love being inspired so I am trying to be around positive, interesting people.
I'm not a tipical tourist who is visiting all of the museums with a guide in a hand, I'm more like a person who is walking through the town trying to feel the athmospere of the place, so I would love to live at the local's home rather than at the hostel.

I usually travel with my partner.

Interests

I like being around other people as well as spending time with myself writing and drinking a glass of wine. I love long conversations about feminism, gender, human rights, but also about living in different places or just about life.

I love cooking, but EATING is probably the half of the pleasure in my life!
I also like taking pictures, but I'm just an amateur. You can check out my ig profile: https://www.instagram.com/clocheque/

I love animals, especially dogs and rats <3

Teach, Learn, Share

cooking, talking while eating delicious food and drinking good wine
I'm also a big fan of the KonMari Method. However, don't be afraid - I won't reorganise your house ;) my partner believes I'm a messy, but my co-workers says I'm a stickler in tidiness, so I believe I am somewhere in the middle :)
We can also teach you some of the Polish words - actually, my partner doesn't speak English, so I would be more than happy to translate!
