About Me

Hey!! I'm a pharmacy PhD student (but not the serious nerd one 😅) and during my free time I love to feed my little bit of an extrovert soul by meeting new people. I think that people are the most important part of our life and the biggest value. Even a meeting which lasts for a moment can totally change our point of view.
I love to explore 'not turistic' parts of cities and hang out as much as possible.
Except that I like to dance, taste life, enjoy the nature, cook for others and look for small pleasures in a life, such as coffee with a good view.

Need to admit that I really like to be a host and make people feel like home at my place. Sometimes I travel solo, sometimes with a company, depends on our calendars. Let's meet :)

Ps. For now I rent just a room in 3 rooms apartment, so most probably we will share a space (depends if my flatmates will(not) be home.) Details in the house description ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

People who travel live twice!! :)

Interests

I love to ask about habits,traditions and ordinary life in your country. How you celebrate special days, what is surprising about a culture, what you eat, listen your national music and social aspects of life in there. Personal contact and chatting are the biggest advantage of a trip for me. Stories and experience that you can share? - I'm open to listen yours and share my thoughts and observations from previous travels.
What I love doing during trips is learning something new from each culture and referencing that to my daily life. I try to take with me to Poland at least one feature that positively surprised me in a visited country - at least it's a souvenir, which is not heavy so I don't need to carry this in a backpack.
Also, it's always interesting how point of view changes everytime I come back home. And how much I can learn about my homeland/ culture during staying abroad.

Music, Movies, and Books

Teach, Learn, Share

We can dance latin (or other) dances together :)

I can teach you how to make Polish dumplings- we call them pierogi,or any another traditional meal. If you want to improve your Polish we can make a conversation, or will teach you most useful phrases. I will learn also happily some useful words from your language. Can tell you about Polish culture, habits, legends and daily life in here. All what I found interesting and valuable about my country and also all what I think we should learn from other cultures.

What I Can Share with Hosts

All travel stories, good mood, smile and usually lame jokes :)
