CURRENT MISSION

Don't let my dreams be dreams!

ABOUT ME

25 yo student of languages.
I quited my law studies and decided to go to Finland as an au pair- which changed my life quite a lot...

It was such a great experience that next summer I decided to find a host family in Madrid. Yes, I do like kids. But the things I like the most are the possibilities it gives: a great mixture of inside view of local culture and langugae, getting to know the customs and food, meeting new people and of course travelling everywhere you can! Perfect combination if you ask me :D

Sometimes I'm super social, the other days I just need some time on my own. I need to keep balance ;) I expect that you will respect this, especially if you're my guest. Please, write something more than 'I need a bed in Warsaw' if you decide to send a request.

My friends say that they like my sense of humour. But it can be pretty sarcastic sometimes ;)

I am a memeber of a student organisation AIESEC, which enables young people to develop their leadership potential through organising volunteer exchanges and internships abroad. It allows me to meet many great individuals from all over the world :D

I've been living abroad for a few months in 2 totally different countries. Different in terms of everything: localization, climate, nature, language, culture, food... And yet I loved them both. I think it tells a lot about me. This was when I realised you can't tell which place is better than the other and no matter where you go you can always find something to enjoy :)

Let's go and try some other places!

PHILOSOPHY

"Collect moments, not things."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surf. Host. Meet. Travel. Talk. Laugh. Share. Get inspired. Live.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed for a couple of nights in Finland and Spain and particiapated in weekly CS meeting in Oulu.
During Interrail trip with my friend I was hosted by 8 great hosts who made this experience unforgettable! :D

Now I am taking first steps in hosting ;) I am not hosting very often, since the place is not really mine, it's my parents', but you're welcome to give it a try and send a request :)

Met a lot of amazing people with whom I had great fun, we still keep in touch and I hope for a lot more!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Maybe not amazing but quite spontaneous- I quit my studies and decided to go to Finland as an Au Pair. This was the moment I logged to CS and dared to dream!

Before that: making a bonfire to fry pancakes in the middle of the night on the beach was kinda weird (and illegal):D
And jumping to a fountain with my friends to celebrate end of school year, haha (I may be a bit shy at first, but sometimes I like doing crazy stuff, it gives best memories!:)

Hitchhiked from Madrid to Valencia and back with a girl met on the very same day who also did it for the first time (and turned out to be a wonderful person!)

Interrail Eurotrip with my friend in summer 2014 on my way back from Spain to Poland- 18 days, 8 countries, 8 amazing hosts, 3511kms by trains, hundreds of photos, thousands of great little moments :D

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some Polish (good luck, one of the hardest languges haha) or English. I wanna learn Spanish&Finnish. Spanish native speakers from all over the world are welcome! :D

I would like to learn how to play a guitar.
