Hi, I’m Julia and I’m a globetrotter always ready for a new adventure! I am from a small, lovely village Szarów but I live, work and study in one of the most beautiful and popular cities in Poland – Kraków. At the moment, I'm on a scholarship exchange in Japan until the end of January, exploring this beautiful country, its rich culture, and meeting amazing people. After that, I plan to visit even more stunning Asian countries. I love meeting new people from all over the world, getting to know their cultures, and exchanging thoughts, traditions, hobbies, and all those good vibes with each other. I wanna explore our beautiful world more and more, so let me share my positive energy with you and let's go for the next adventure together! xx

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Why Couchsurfing? It’s easy. I love travelling and people. It’s the best way to get to know international friends, their culture, interests and spend a great time with them in a new place I wanna explore.

Interests

I always say we have to use our lives as much as possible! “You only live once”, right? That’s why I try many things and have looots of interests.
I love music! I’ve finished music school, where I’ve been playing classical guitar and a little bit piano for some years. I also have cajon (box percussion instrument) and play it for fun. I like singing (karaoke maybe?), going to concerts or music festivals.
I cannot live without sports! If I have time I go swimming, rollerblading, cycling or go hiking with my friends. During winter I really enjoy snowboarding, skiing or ice skating.
I also like dancing, especially at parties with my friends when I can be a party animal!
Movies, series and books are part of my life - whenever I’m at home, not studying, this is what I do!...but if I study I usually read a lot of books about human mind and body. It’s really interesting!
I’ve tried many other things in my life (even martial arts and ballet the same time haha) but the most important thing is that I LOVE TRAVELLING and I wanna see beautiful places, experience new things and meet wonderful people even more. Hope you’re the one who can help me!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music, movies and books are my life! I love trying new things so I enjoy all types of them, tho I can say that I rally like listening to rock, old but gold music (60s, 80s!), sometimes disco or latino when I feel like dancing and other catchy pop, electronic or rap songs.
Movies, series and books? Every time is a good time for them! I like thrillers, crimes and psychological ones but as I said, I love trying new things, so everything’s good for me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I love to embrace life and enjoy every moment, and there are so many incredible experiences I've had! Among them are hitchhiking (autostop) races from Poland to Italy and from Poland to Greece, a work and travel adventure in the USA where I worked as a lifeguard, bought a car with friends, and traveled through 21 states without any plan - just going with the flow and seeking adventure! During that time I also went kayaking on the Pennsylvania River and camped on its islands for 10 days or enjoyed horseback riding in the Wild West. Additionally, I went paragliding in the Alps, had many amazing solo trips during my Erasmus in Málaga, Spain or my first unforgettable scuba diving experience along with climbing in the jungle in Thailand. Hopefully, there will be many more adventures to come! :)
