ABOUT ME

Here you can find a lot of photos of me ;)
http://picasaweb.google.com/iga.turek

I was on Erasmus in Portugal, where I did my master thesis, and I'm doing PhD.

I love to travel, I love to meet new people, new places, new cultures.

I am crazy and unpredictable, eg. swimming in december in the ocean in Europe, having shower under sprinkles...
I just like to have fun, to discover new possibilities.

I am sometimes moody - so I can be very quite and just listen to others. I can be sad and few minutes later be very happy. I can be also very talkative :P

I just live every minute of my life. At least I try ;)

PHILOSOPHY

Nothing is impossible.
Live every minute of your life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was surfing. Now I can show my city to somebody who is willing to walk around with me. Unfortunately, I don't have couch to share. I live in one room appartment with my friend.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was CS-ing with my friend in Madrid and Morocco (Marrakech). It is really great way to meet new people, and to know the city.
