About Me

I am a keen traveler. I started to travel abroad in secondary school taking part in exchange program. I spent a fortnight in Germany and then hosted a girl in my family home for the same period of time. When I was 17 I went to Great Britain to work during summer season. In Isle of Man I spent 4 summer seasons earning money and travelling (exploring England). After the 4th season I stayed there another two years. As student in Poland I took part in Erasmus programme and I decided to go for internship to Rhodes in Greece, that lasted 4 months. Since that time I went to Rome, United States and Provence, France. I was a member of the Student Organization AIESEC in which I was involved in exchange programs. I easily make friends and communicate with people. Wherever I go I leave my footprints. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Some years ago my friend who invites me to meetings called CS Language Exchange told me about couchsurfing. Also, 2 years ago I hosted a girl from Malaysia, who also mentioned about CS and I went with her to Italy, together with boys from Austria and China, who just joined our trip. I realized that you can travel on low budget and still have a great experience. In United States I slept beyond the sky many times, or in hammock, or just a sleeping bag, in different places and conditions. Thanks to this experience I am not afraid of sleeping in unknown places or stranger's houses. I seek adventure whenever I go abroad. This is best achieved with locals, who not only will show you around but also spend some time with you and share their amazing stories and experience.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I tried jetski during my stay in Rhodes, Greek island I realized I am into water and extreme sports. Going with the wind and enjoying the 'drive' is what makes me feel alive!
Skydiving in California - amazing experience and unforgettable day!
Lately I've done shopping for a preacher - a mother of five kids from Moldova. This never happened to me before. I've never been that generous. I believe that good comes back to us in unexpected ways and I think God led me to help those people.
Hiking in Calanque National Park - fighting with my fear of heights and experiencing the freedom and real bond with Mother Nature.

Teach, Learn, Share

People who I met in my life tell me I am the example to follow. I do like to inspire others, but I like to be inspired even more. I learn through experience and if someone lets me down, it is hard to trust him/her again. But I learned to forgive and forget.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I assure you wouldn't forget me easily, as I am energetic. optimistic and sociable person. I can cook, draw (maybe something, what inspired me in the particular place), bake, dance, tell stories, and keep company till late. I can teach my host steps of some dance styles, I've learned quite few ;)
