Hello there! I'm Gabriela, and I call the vibrant city of Warsaw my home. By day, I'm a cloud engineer, but when the workday is over, I transform into an enthusiastic explorer 🌍 and sports enthusiast 🏸.

I have a passion for staying active – you'll often find me on the squash court 🎾, going for a jog 🏃‍♀️ to soak in the city's energy, or even exploring the underwater wonders 🌊 through scuba diving. But there's more to me than just sports; I can spend hours wandering through modern art galleries 🖼️, finding inspiration in the creativity of others.

I'm fluent in Polish 🇵🇱 and English 🇬🇧. I'm also on a mission to conquer French 🇫🇷 - a language (more than a year of Duolingo streak) 🗼.

What I love most about Couchsurfing is that it's not just about seeing stunning monuments and buildings 🏛️; it's about the unforgettable connections and friendships we form along the way ❤️. I cherish the remarkable people I've met on this journey, and I'm excited to continue this adventure.

If you're looking for a Couchsurfing host who can show you the soul of Warsaw, share stories 📚, or simply have a great time, look no further! I believe that the best memories are made with new friends, and I can't wait to meet you and create unforgettable moments together 🤝. Let's embark on this unique adventure in the heart of Warsaw! Be careful! There is a Ukrainian refugee living with me. She is 3 year old adorable cat named Murka 🐱.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I use Couchsurfing to connect with people and experience destinations through their eyes, not just as a tourist. It's about forming meaningful connections, sharing stories, and making every journey unforgettable. It's not just a travel platform; it's a way of life.
