Overview
About Me
Currently studying painting in Gdańsk, I also weave, knit and collect wild pigments around.
I enjoy nature, every kind of art and I learn. I like getting to know how you see the world, through your different eyes and different stories.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
During many, many backpacking trips and student exchanges, I met a lot of friendly people who helped me out, moved some parts inside me, shaped me into a slightly better person. I guess there's nothing more to do than to just spread this kindness to others and to live more adventures like that. I also just enjoy getting to know different cultures and learning new things not from books, etc, but from those who really love what they do. It's the most beautiful thing in the world, to be around enjoying life people and to see that there is always sth new to learn.
