About Me

I am a barista, singer and student, while on every day basis I work at a British start-up in Krakw. In my free time I sing in a beautiful choir, but also practice to sing solo one day in the future. I enjoy coffee more than a usual person, I dream about having a small coffeeshop somewhere in Scandinavia.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I heard so many amazing stories from my couchsurfing friends and always wanted to try. While I was living in the US I went travelling a few times and almost always surfed on somebody's couch. I wish I could give back to community by hosting people but it may not be that easy in my current housing condition. I am here to hang out, show you Kraków and help in case of couch-emergency!

Interests

Life is so amazing and I can't decide what I like the most about it. I like US history, pictures from Middle East, movies about superheros, Lincoln Center in NYC, vegan spreads on warm toast, good coffee and singing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bargaining in Farsi at the bazaar in the middle of Tehran. I didn't expect any Iranian to understand me when I speak their language, and yet I managed to get myself a discount. ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy telling stories and showing my city to tourists. I can share history of my region, show you where to party and take you to greatest coffee bars in the city. As classical music is one of my favorite things in the world I will be happy to take you to a concert.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Polish culture presented in food and drinks. I will share my passion for music as well.
