About Me

Cheerful girl. Little shy but with positive energy.

Keep calm and drink tea.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I truly believe that good things are always come back.

Unfortunately, I haven't had possibility to host people, yet. But I hope that it will change someday.

Interests

Tea! A lot of tea!
And little of everything: music, movies, books (it sounds like a cliché, I know:p), cycling, hiking (either 'normal' or hitchhiking).
Cooking is one of my biggest hobbies. For me, cooking it's a kind of magic. It's not only about taste and smell, you can season your meal with emotions. And I have feelings for food. Especially spaghetti;p
I'm also into handcrafting. I am constantly trying to sew, make decoupage, make jewellery etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Only one?;) I try to experience new amazing things as often as I can.

And these were really important for me:
Pilgrimage (on foot) from Warsaw to Częstochowa (about 250 km)
Cycling trip 2012: Poland, from Bydgoszcz to Polish coast (about 500 km by bike),
Cycling trip 2015: through Germany to Lolland/Falster in Denmark (1000 km by bike)
Every hitchhiking trip I did (e.g. to North Cape, to Georgia)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to do 'Pierogi' (Polish traditional dish) and how to say
"W Szczebrzeszynie chrząszcz brzmi w trzcinie" (I speak Polish. What's your superpower?;))
