Overview
About Me
I am a graduate of Psychology from University of Warsaw, now moving to Amsterdam to expand my knowledge in Conflict Resolution. For 2,5 years I worked as a journalist in business magazine, so I know a lot about startups, digital media and related fields. From all the countries I have visited I loved Israel the most.
I am an extrovert, I like to listen to the other people's stories (so probably it is a good thing I chose psychology) and I like to laugh, a lot. I like to party and have fun, but I can also be somewhat of a nerd. I want to do a PhD in Psychology and I can spend hours and hours talking about fascinating research.
I absolutely love space and everything related to it and I was very excited when Einstein's theory about grativational waves turned out to be true.
PHILOSOPHY
The sky is not my limit - the whole Universe is.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I think Couchsurfing is one of the nicest initiatives there ever were. Travelling without meeting people, who live in the countries you visit seems to be a bit flat – after all the best way to fully grasp other cultures is by talking with people who live them.
I actually did the Couchsurfing only one time, in Tel Aviv. I spent 10 days with amazing hosts, who showed me and my friend around the city, gave us some advices and just spent time with us. I am still in contact with some of the people I met during that time and it was really precious trip for me.
Interests
I am very interested in Jewish culture and history so I try to expand my knowledge on this topic as much as possible. I am one of those lucky people who loved the studies they chose – I am very interested in psychology, I know a lot about how we perceive the world and what mechanisms are responsible for the ways we behave and I love to talk about it with others.

Music, Movies, and Books
My favourite book is "One hundred years of solitude" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez and favourite band is Oasis. I am very much into watching TV series, my favourite right now is "Masters of sex". I very much like latin american literature. On a daily basis I read The Guardian, New York Times and, my favourite, Quartz. My favourite type of literature is non-fiction – I read couple of books about Russia, Czech Republic and Israel.

A couple of months ago I got to present my research on an international conference at Columbia University.
