I live in a small village 45 km east of Warsaw, in the middle of the forest in a big house with my family: my husband , my son and his wife with their 2 children: daughter (five years old ) and little son (one years old). We all live in a farm with 13 horses, dogs and chickens in a peacefull and beatufull place. I love nature, animals and people. I believe that the world is not as bad as it sometimes seems to be.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

What I love the most is travelling and meeting new people, but not in way "all inclusive style". I prefer to travel with backpack and tent and meet people just in normal life.
