Overview
About Me
PERSONALITY
I'm an energetic, proactive and open-minded student. I have positive attitude to life and try make the most of it. Lately my biggest passion is everything, that enables me to understand different people and cultures better. That's why I created a profile here. I can also add, that learning new languages is an important part of international experience. Every time I visit a new country, I try to learn basics of their language from locals in the meantime.
INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE
As for my international activity by now, I've been a member of Erasmus Student Network at my University for about a year already. There, I got involved mostly in a so called Mentor Program. That means I basically welcome all exchange students from abroad, organize events for them to have more fun and know each other better (International dinner, parties, pub crawl) and also show them around Warsaw (useful tips, budget places to eat, places worth visiting, museums, old town, parks, things to do in a spare time) .
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
While having a lot of contact with exchange students in Warsaw I decided I want to get more involved in hosting people from abroad and travelling myself. I believe, that as well hosting travellers from other cities and countries, as visiting other Couchsurfers can make my travelling and international experience much more valuable. There is no better way to dive into the culture of a particular place than getting to know locals. To my mind it makes travelling more exciting and makes it way easier. It's always better to have contact with a person living in some area than reading a guidebook about that place.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Last summer me and my friend came up with an idea of hitchhiking together. After nearly 2 days, without much preparation we set off from Warsaw to Villnius. It wasn't travelling throughout whole Europe yet, but a wonderful first step in hitchhiking.
Maybe it wasn't so amazing, but definitely spontanous, which in the end turned out to be great idea.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can tell you a lot about polish culture, most beautiful places to see, a little bit about its history (but I'm not an expert =] ). If you want I can show you some clubs, bars, or parks to go for a stroll. It's a lot of fun for me to teach foreigners, how to speak polish too. If I haven't written about someting, that intersts you, just ask.
