CURRENT MISSION

To make use of my one year traineeship at ESTEC, ESA to the fullest.

ABOUT ME

Hey everyone and welcome!
I´m Dominika and I´m an engineering student from Poland.
I love my studies, wine, water and dancing! I´m very friendly and happy to get to know others. I enjoy trying and learning new things, so if there is anything you can show me let me know (I offer dancing lessons and a bottle of wine in return ;))

PHILOSOPHY

Hmm, I don't believe I have any.
Be happy.
Live life, so you if you look back you'll be satisfied with it.
I guess that's it;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I helped with hosting a few people as most of my flatmates are also Couchsurfing's users.
I used couchsurfing with my boyfriend in Paris (three different hosts) and in Einhoven (big house full of great girls!) and in Spain during our backpacking trip, then a year later we were rescued from second night at the airport by an amazing host from Geneva.
As for now I have only amazing and positive experience with it!

Interests

Space exploration and robotics - finishing my studies I realized that I would love to combine my studies of robotics with space industry. The result is my one year trainee at ESA (European Space Agency), which I am totally excited about.
Dance! Basically any kind of dance. I love to do it, to move to express myself. I used to train hip-hop for a year and then standard and latin dances for 4 years. I don't anymore, but I miss it, truly love it and can talk about it for hours (and I am not a very talkative person;)
Apart for that - books, movies, music, any interesting thing i don't have much knowledge about and you do :P

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some Polish, but bare in mind it is very hard! And also dance - samba, cha cha, rumba or english waltz- whatever you like ;)
We can talk Polish, English, Spanish or German (I'll do my best ;) ).
Learn: about my hosts, their language, culture, experience.
