Overview
About Me
I am really sorry but right now I am not able to host anyone from the world - I live in a shared room in students dormitory so I don’t have any proper conditions for guests :(
I used to live in Warsaw, Poland and study on music university, then moved to Kraków to study on another one :) Currently living in Wrocław... so yes, still looking for my place in the world :)
I'm open-minded and extremely curious about many many things :)
I'm also very enthusiastic and I'm trying to see the good in every man and every situation :)
I do really like to meet new people, and travelling for me is the best way to get to know the city, people and even yourself better.
And lately, I started to think that travelling is also a good training of mindfulness and you can learn to see new opportunities and people around you :)
I am a musician, working part-time as a singer, musical educator, composer and conductor.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I'm always interested in a kind of "local lifestyle" much more than in sightseeing tours with an audioguide. It’s nice to see what TripAdvisor recommends, but now I think is all about the stories and memories you create somewhere.
And about Couchsurfing.
I really do believe the main idea is really wonderful - personally, I am a caring, warm person in love with discovering new people, cultures, exchanging and sharing experiences and stories.
In this times full of anxiety, conflicts about politics, religion, stereotypes and more serious problems Couchsurfing is a really nice place that is making you believe that when you're just a warm, open-minded person with no special needs you can be over that problems and that is bringing me to hope we can create a better future for ourselves :)
Interests
I play piano, guitar and ukulele,
I'm trying to learn as much about other artistic disciplines as possible,
any kind of travel (yes, sometimes I'm so lucky I travel for work, too!) is always a pleasure,
and when in the library I can forget that the external world ever existed

Teach, Learn, Share
Open for sharing some musical tips,
Also for sharing some cooking recipes, but if I’ll agree to someone saying that I’m a good cooker then we’d both be wrong ;]
What I Can Share with Hosts
Well, I’ve been doing some extreme makeovers quite a few times and I can be very patient with reading an ACTUAL instruction how to set an IKEA wardrobe, so I can be pretty handy (yes, it’s still more something I like to call a quality time then buying my ticket to Big Bus e.g.)
