CURRENT MISSION

Living life to the full

ABOUT ME

I finished Translation and Interpreting at the Jagiellonian University of Krakow. I love learning new languages as I find it a good way to get to know the culture of another country. I think that speaking a different language at least slightly changes the way of looking at the world.
Now I am studying classical singing at the Academy of Music of Krakow and striving to become a professional opera singer in the near future, as I discovered that music is what really is my greatest passion in life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Unfortunately, I'm not able to host as I live in a small shared flat, but I'm willing to meet for a coffee or a walk around Krakow whenever I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed several couches with a friend in Spain in September 2010 - an incredible experience!

Interests

Music! Especially classical. Opera with all its splendour, drama and affectation. The voice and charisma of the incomparable Maria Callas.
Films! Watched in small cinemas, devoured in big quantities whenever possible.
People! Meeting and getting to know people of different nations, different personalities and views on life.
Travelling! Experiencing other countries, breathtaking views and international friendships.
