About Me

CURRENT MISSION
After my long way to become a master I want to chill a little bit , this way I go with my friend to Canary Island. We would like to earn some money and traverse the islands. In november I will finish with my work, so all couchsurfers are welcome from 7 th november until end of this month.

ABOUT ME

Young girl, fresh out of college who can't get enough. Enough of travels of course. She looks at friends in her age with children in their arms and speaks in her mind : " next year I will be like them" , but next year hasn't come yet.
Ladies version of Peter Pan

Some people think she's naive
She's not naive, She likes adventure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel a lot, sometimes I have place to stay and sometimes I don't have. In both cases it's nice to meet someone far away from home. Especially when I stay somewhere only for few day's I don't have time to get to know very well this place. So the best way is to meet someone local ;)
I'm also a local patriot, that means that in my home place I speak only in my silesian dialect . With CS I can disseminate knowledge of the Silesian Culture ;)

Interests

I can lie on the floor all day and look at the maps. I have hundreds of maps ! I also like to try new vegetarian food from all around the world. I am curious of strange customs from different cultures.
All the things that make me curious, I can discover through traveling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was hitchhiking in Morocco with my friend Pablo and we and we caught a big yellow truck. We traveled several days through the desert and inaccessible villages with wonderful people.

What I Can Share with Hosts

The biggest problem is that I live in a village called Gorzyce it is between Ostrava (Czech Republik ) and Rybnik (poland). There is no there is no direct connection with this towns, But if you want to know real silesian family and taste the silesian cuisine just let me know !
I'll just add that my mother and grandmother are professional cooks ;)
