About Me

A chatterbox with a positive view on life, always looking forward to meet new people. Now I've been travelling couple of months around South America making my dream come true. I mostly do workaways. Why? I honestly believe that you can really get to know the culture only when you dine, live and work with people - one of them is missng, something is missing.

What else? Well, my friends say that I am very outgoing, warm and curious person. Quite energetic as well! I must admit, I'm pretty active and I try not to waste any time that I have sitting at home.

My favourite animal is hedgehog. Don't know why, just because.
Oh, and I think that one smile can light up someone's day . Naive? Maybe ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hm, kinda like the above - whenever I travel I am always keen on meeting up local people and I want to learn more about the culture. Plus I am a backpacer from Poland - clearly short on budget ;)

For now I'm travelling but once I'm back home I am happy to be the host too! I have already done it for warmshowers and I think it's an amazing initiative.

Interests

*I love hiking and want to learn more about rock climbing. Usually my trips always include at least one hike into the wild.
*I've been practicing pole dancing and it changed my life a bit. So many crazy people! Hope you don't have a negative-stripper connotation. And if you do, let me help you to change your mind!
*I'm a huge fantasy fan, especially the Witcher series (books and games).
*I also ride a fixie!

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a really bad taste in music and films. I'm kinda like a goat which eats everything.
Buuut, I really like French movies. And yes, Marvel Universe is overrated but still super fun, right?
