Hey all! I'm traveling until the end of July so unfortunately can't meet with you at the moment :( However, I'm always happy to give advices on visiting Warsaw and Kraków.

I'm a PhD student at the University of Warsaw in the field of astronomy. In particular, I study gigantic collisions of galaxies and supermassive black holes and search for their gravitational wave emission observing pulsars on a radio telescope in Australia. My work is my whole life and passion and I would be more than glad to share it with you :)

My way of travelling is to live an everyday life in the city/country where I go to. I like going to some of the top tourist places but only once in a while. I am really lucky that my job enables me to travel a lot exactly in this way!

Unfortunately, I don't have much experience with surfing. Most of my travels are related to work so I rarely need to look for a place to stay. However, my very first plane flight took me to Iran with my fiance Michal where we spent a whole amazing month staying with our friends or surfing. This particular trip has a special place in my memory and this is exactly because of our wonderful hosts. We would have never seen Iran as we did if we traveled alone.

I'm a 100% introvert and feel shy at first, but really enjoy spending time with people who can accept this :)
