Hi! I'm a med student from Poland, and my greatest passion is travelling by all possible means. I love hitchhiking, sailing, biking, driving, hiking... And meeting wonderful people along the way!

When I'm travelling, I always try to take in as much local sights, cuisine, music, language and tradition as possible. I like to experience the most authentic side of any place I'm visiting.

Apart from travel, I'm also very passionate about sailing, I play acoustic guitar, and I really like to cook. I also work part-time as a barista, and I am a freelance translator.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's the one thing I love the most about both couchsurfing and hitchhiking: meeting and talking with interesting, open-minded people from all places in the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sailed as a crewmember onboard the Polish square-rigged tall ship STS Fryderyk Chopin in The Tall Ships Races 2019, competing with ships from all around the world - and we won!

Teach, Learn, Share

It would be amazing if I could learn some of your language and cuisine! Also, I'm always happy to expand my musical knowledge :D

In turn I can share my knowledge of food and sailing. I could also teach you some Polish language. And if you are curious about hitchhiking but not really convinced, I will be happy to tell you all about it!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Sharing fascinating travel stories over a cup of tea or coffee;
Cooking (people say I'm pretty good at it!);
Hiking, biking, sightseeing together;
Playing some guitar if you're up for it;
And I can bring some Polish candy for you! :p
