About Me

Polish girl trying to face everyday struggles with grace and smile.

I finished bachelor studies in Cracow and then lived 2 years in Romania. I started as EVS volunteer there, I was teaching children at school. After that I stayed in Bucharest for some more time, working for international company and falling more and more in love with Romania.

Now I'm back in Poland, I work as a youth worker, mostly locally with children and with youngsters internationally (Erasmus+ programme).

I love to meet new people, new cultures, see new places, taste new food, try new things.

I can't leave without coffee in the morning, without music and without feeling that I discover something new every once in a while.

Let's meet! :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing people on Couchsurfing writing incredible stories about all awesome things they did makes me think I haven't done anything special in my life. However, I have my own little things that I consider big for myself:

-hiking and roadtrip in Georgia,
-hitchhiking in Kosovo,
-bungee jump from 60 meters,
-teaching children in Romania for a year with almost ZERO knowledge of Romanian language,
-I make people smile

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach:
-How to make an incredible mess in the kitchen while cooking and clean it in 30 minutes
-How to have many hobbies (movie-making, juggling, playing djembe, singing), enjoy them all and not be expert in any of them

Learn:
-Something about your culture and your country, wherever you live
