Overview
About Me
I am 25 years old traveler, who left Warsaw and went see the world. I graduated in Law and in Journalism (specialty: Photography), but felt that it is not the future I want. Together with my boyfriend we decided to collect all savings and travel. We went on a road trip across USA and lived in a blue mini-van for couple months. Currently we are in Mexico, Baja California. We will do backpack trip to Cancun, then fly to Cuba. After that...who knows.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To se the world exactly as it is, not as pictured in hotel catalogues. To meet real people and share their life for a moment. To exchange with others my time, knowledge, experience, joy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Made a decision to leave the "normal life", did not follow the standard law carrier path. Took a plane to USA and started the amazing adventure with no deadline.
Teach, Learn, Share
Speaking fluent English I can share the knowledge and teach the language on the medium level.
I can share my knowledge about photography obtained during 3 years of photography studies on university.
I danced salsa for many years- can teach basic steps, help to feel the rhythm.
I would love to learn Spanish language and how to cook real Mexican food.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Numerous stories from the road trip across the USA (started in NYC on the east coast, finished in San Diego, California) and many other previous trips. I love to cook- would be a pleasure to prepare delicious meal together(Italian and Polish cuisine are my best). Long conversations about culture and history would be great!
