About Me

I am a calm and widely curious person. Polyglot and fascinated by the cultural diversity of the world. I travelled around the 5 continents always rediscovering myself and learning from new perspectives every person and every place represents. I am a good storyteller. I was born in Warsaw, grew up in Barcelona, connected to spirituality in India, and studied in Rio de Janeiro. Last year I moved to Ukraine to be closer to my people in times of struggle of fight for freedom. The upcoming November I will visit Tbilisi, Erbil and Cairo, I wish to explore the youth cultural scene, learn about their dreams and perspectives on the future, and have a look at the new paradigms appearing in the Middle East.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I met wonderful souls through Couchsurfing. So far I’ve been hosted in Palestine, Ukraine, Colombia and Brazil, all of those experiences were amazing I truly enjoyed meeting and coexisting with locals, learning from their perspectives and using their advice.

Interests

I am a nomad soul. My biggest joy is to walk through new cities and villages observing life taking place around me. Every culture, every individual brings a new perspective. On my free time I explore different communities and cultures through internet, books, documentaries.

  • anthropology
  • geography
  • different cultures
  • sociopolitics

Music, Movies, and Books

I avoid comercial American cinema. Always try to focus on productions that makes me think, I try to find interesting films and documentaries from African, Asian or Eastern European countries. I love ethnic music with contemporary resounding. I loved the books of Yuval Harari and Kapuscinski.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Make fire shows around India. Meditate for 10 days in Myanmar. Hitchhiked around Iceland. Live with bedouins in the desert. Pretend to be a Jew to explore the orthodox community in Jerusalem. Lived for a year in a favela in Rio de Janeiro.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have many interesting stories to share and I am a good listener. Enjoy long talks and always respect everyone’s perspective. I speak 8 languages which helps me a lot to communicate on almost any place and community and to intermediate between different peoples.
