Hi my name is Ela, and I am from Poland, but I have lived in both Poland and New Zealand for the last 30 years (i lost count) I enjoy meeting new people and talk about important things in life. I have traveled to many countries and like to share my experiences with like minded people. I am travelling with my son Arisai, 23 (who has autism so he is quite shy), in hope to further foster his social skills, plus just like me he loves outdoors activities, nature walks, mountain biking etc We just came back from a trip to Poland and Czech Republic where we explored caves, castles, ruins and other attractions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it is a great opportunity to meet interesting people. I must admit that we are new to couch surfing as until now we have been hosting wwoofers from all over the world, but after one friend told all wonderful experiences while couch surfing , I decided to give it a go and I am sure we will meet lots of kind and open minded people. In future I would like to become a host myself, so who knows if you decide to host us we might meet again at our place as I would like to return the favour.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have traveled to lots of countries. My son Arisai loves any extreme adrenalin activities (very unlike me)and has done bungy jumps in Auckland and Taupo, jumped from Sky tower and soon he endeavours with his sister to jump from the aeroplane.

laugh, talk,and go with the flow

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my experiences, also if you courageous I can make for dinner traditional Polish red beetroot soup, which I must admit is hard for foreigners to get used to as it looks like blood. Alternatively I can make Polish potato fritters. We are both very tidy, non smokers, and vegetarian, also very easy going and I'll be happy to do any house cleaning jobs
