My driving force is curiosity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When travelling I like to get an actual sense of what life is like in the country I'm visiting - staying in a hotel can be very misleading. Also I find that I remember my trips mostly from the moments I've experienced with people rather than the landmarks I've seen, and staying at someone's home is bound to be an interesting and authentic experience. Once I have a place of my own with the proper conditions I would love to have people stay with me so that I can provide this insight of living in the country to them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Playing the violin in a symphony orchestra with a chorus and soloists, performing Anton Bruckner's Te Deum in an old church during a tour in Ireland <3

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy sharing the Polish culture with people I meet, whether it be through music, food or talking about the country's history and customs. In the past I've tutored people in languages, so if anyone needs to brush up on their English or learn some Polish or French, I'd be happy to exchange for a lesson in your native language ;) I studied music (violin and theory of music) all throughout my childhood so I can share that with you if you'd like, teaching how to read music or singing together :)
