About Me

I'm a Polish girl living in Norway since 2015 and teaching Norwegian to foreigners and refugees. What I like most about my job is that I can work with people, help the newcomers get established and make their everyday life easier. The exciting part is that I get to know people from all over the world who have decided to move to a relatively tiny Oslo.
Even though I like having people around me, I relax best being on my own with a book or with a friend or two. Another option could be going for a hike or going on a bike ride.
Bikepacking is fun too!
I used to work in a coffee shop, so I'm a bit nerdy when it comes to coffee, but not as strict as I used to be ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd love to get to know more people with a similar mindset and get inspired for my next travels. There is no better way to get to know a new place than hanging out with the locals and enjoying their stories.
