About Me

Currently living in Krakow, Poland, but hoping to end up living in Tel Aviv, Portugal or Copenhagen some day. Having a place with a nice balcony in Tel Aviv and having friends over all the time is what I am dream of

MISSION FOREVER: Travel the world, learn how to surf, then surf all day.
Want to buy a van and travel/surf around Aus, New Zealand and Portugal

ABOUT ME:
I break things and stain clothes
I like adventures and exploring, finding hidden gems.
I enjoy meeting new, fun people and I have an eternal case of itchy feet and wanderlust. And FOMO, too.
I believe dancing helps with pretty much anything.
Good party is very important for my well-being.
Love animals, crazy about dogs.
I eat candy like no other person alive!
I think life is about having as much fun as possible, not taking yourself too seriously and seeing all the wonders that the world has to offer.

PHILOSOPHY:

"It is not our purpose to become each other; it is to recognise each other, to learn to see the other and honor him for what he is." - Herman Hesse

Be yourself and go see the world. Be respectful while doing so.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING:
By meeting great people, which has been an amazing experience. I met some of my favourite people through Couchsurfing. I am always up for grabbing a drink and showing people around.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE:
' Tots amaze! '
Mostly met people through it, surfed a couple of times. I haven't used it in a while, but my trip to Tel Aviv is approaching and I realised that the only right way to do it is with locals, because I absolutely adore this city and its people!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm interested in many things, so finding a common ground shouldn't be too hard.

I can teach Serbian, German and Swedish. And maybe some capoeira, sim?

I would like to learn how to cook some very basic delicious food (but arm yourself with patience)! Also trying to learn Hebrew atm. Surfing and skating is at the very top of my list and any help with those is more than welcome

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories that people hopefully find amusing, laughter, lessons in (mostly useless) languages, some rakija/vodka, I wish I could say food, but I am hopeless at cooking :'(
