CURRENT MISSION

To write a book!

ABOUT ME

I like traveling by myself or with the good soulmates.
I love reading. Singing, sometimes. I prefer see to mountains.
I like to take sudden decisions, so now I'm in Vancouver on exchange, even if I was supposed to be in Denmark instead. I really don't know why I'm here, but a kind of like it...

PHILOSOPHY

Dream as if you'll live forever.
Live as if you'll die today.

and sometimes just:

Eat well. Travel often.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was working in Paris as an "au-pair" and decided to leave family for another - and in the time between this I had a week and nowhere to stay - and I reminded myself, that friend once talked about institution as CS which enabled him to travel through South America. So I set my account and spent great week at my first host place. Then, I hosted 3 people in my place in Warsaw for a couple of days.
Last summer we went with my friend for a tour around North France - we had 7 hosts during this time and have wonderful memories.
And also last summer I hosted a girl (kisses, Nastya!) at my place for some days. Never had such long night talks:)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

as above

Interests

I love travelling. I've got the fear of flying. I prefer trains and hitch-hiking.
I like windsurfing, skiing, swimming, jogging sometimes. I like jogging through the forest next to my campus in Vancouver thinking about all these grandma's warnings about Canadian bears.
Sitting at cafe's in France and gazing at the people, writing some phrases in the notebook and imagining I'm Hemingway or someone
I wish I could play the guitar, I tried to learn it but it didn't work.
I like cooking, especially make big, fatty breakfast. And I simply like water, it makes me calm - I love long walks along the beach, swimming in the sea, lakes, creeks.

Music, Movies, and Books

"Master and Margarita"!!!
I love Jane Austen books.
Michel Houellebecq
David Lodge "academic novels"
crime stories
I'm very open-minden if it comes to books - just great story can make me love any genre.

I like many kinds of music. Love old French songs. Some classics from the sixties and seventies, I like RedHot Chilli Peppers, Franz Ferdinand, Nouvelle Vague.

Woody Allen movies, and many more, but I tend to forgot even those titles, which I liked
I love "Mad Men"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went skiing in Canada, just now, make a hitchhike trip through North France, including the most beautiful Bretagne in the world, ate 2 kilos of mussles at once (and never again after), spent whole New Year's Eve on skype, being an au pair in Cote d'Azur, being a boatswain in windsurfing spot in Poland, plan a hitchhike trip through Spain, and fail to catch any driver. Writing really a lot of my own lyrics to popular sailing songs during the cruises. Some of them went to the history.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you a few Polish sailing songs...maybe translate them to English.
Cook something for you, if you wish.
But my experienced showed, that the thing that works the best is just good chatting. If you want, I can also listen.
