CURRENT MISSION

Making my biggest dream come true: I was on (almost) round the world trip which started in September 2016! I bought one way ticket to Jakarta and during my trip I visited Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand and Timor Leste. My beautiful trip has ended after a year with an accident in Timor and I had to go back home for operation and further physio. All in all, I didn't say last word in terms of travelling... ;)

ABOUT ME

Open minded, joyful, spontaneous person which loves to explore other countries, cultures, music an art from different aspects. I was volounteering for 5 years in Erasmus Student Network (NGO's) at my university and helping international students to set up their new life chapters in Warsaw.

I just can't stay in one place all the time, for now, I've spent 12 months on Erasmus in Coimbra (Portugal), 5 months in Sarajevo on another exchange and doing internship in Lisbon. I used to live in Warsaw and work in marketing until I realized life is not only about professional life and decided to pursue my dream and explore the world :)

PHILOSOPHY

The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to meet people from other countries, expand my horizons, improve my language skills and also to get to know the beauty of their country.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was hosted for the first time in my life in Girona, Spain, it was a great experience. I attended several CS meetings in Warsaw and in Lisbon and all can I say it is that the people from the community are unique!
