About Me

NEVER STOP EXPLORING:)
"LOVE AND DO WHAT YOU WANT" (St Augustine)
In my previous life I must have been a gipsy travelling around the world with a circus, on the road all the time, not knowing from which part of the world I will look at the stairs tonight..:) In my present life I am a nature lover and a modern shaman - a doctor - and except using my healing abilities daily I love travelling, meeting new people, exchanging experience. Constantly on the move. Never stop exploring and asking questions cause like discovering the new lands on our beautiful planet, and also the inner lands of our minds and souls.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like travelling, meeting new cultures, I am still fascinated in how we people are so different from each other, and getting to know all the diversity is very inspiring and also a way to get to know myself better. As one of my favourite authors-travellers, Kapuścinski, said: " If I havent been to Africa, I wouldnt have noticed that people there have black skin, and I wouldnt have noticed, that mine is white". Love that diversity and I am still curious to explore and discover:) The idea of staying with local people is still fascinating for me.

*I do not host people with no references for my own safety reasons, so please do not ask for staying before having a few because I am gonna decline anyway.
For an easy start with couchsurfing I recommend everyone to host people first, get some references and then it is easier to be a guest as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In one cold night seeing the remote lights and lightings in clouds below us, tied with rope with my boyfriend on the glacier, with ice-axe in one hand, going through magic "ice world of trolls"we managed to climb volcano Cotopaxi (5897m) in Ecuador - amazing beauty and wonderful feeling!:)

Teach, Learn, Share

Warm welcome in old magical city of Lincoln, depending on time trips around together, bike trips, photo walks, cooking, baking - not only polish food:), movie nights, going out dancing, sharing stories. Just tell me if I am asking too many questions, talking too much or too fast - I realize that it can be very intense experience being around me:)
