I’ve recently started traveling in order to widen my horizons, meet interesting people and do meaningful projects. I’m a fashion designer who worked all over Europe and most recently in New York. As much as I love creating beautiful clothes, I have grown increasingly conscious about the ugly face of fashion, the world’s second largest polluter, and about the unethical production chain happening at all levels of the market.
One of my intentions for the journey has become to connect with people of similar interests. The aim is to eventually develop a brand/organization helping in creating locally made ethical fashion goods.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the idea of sharing one’s house with friendly people who can mutually influence each other, learn and have a meaningful exchange. While currently traveling, I find it to be one of the best ways of connecting to people and finding out about the local culture.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Quit a great job to start an even greater adventure.

Teach, Learn, Share

Since I can remember I’ve always drawn- mostly people, situational drawings, humanistic cartoons, clothes... I love doing this and sharing.
enjoy cooking- Polish cuisine is at times a bit complicated, therefore I prefer to mix it up with international influences. I love picking up fresh groceries- straight of a branch, soil, market and making it work. Cooking together is the most enjoyable.
Listening the love music, no matter the genre or instrument is one of the greatest joys of life. Personally I’m quite bad, but perhaps because of that I have a great admiration for brave people who play music. I love to partake in that.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share stories- I love to listen more than to speak. I’d love to share some of the recipes for living or cooking or spending a nice evening together. I’m flexible and open to anything the host is willing to share.
