About Me

Hi there! I'm an ENFP creative with a passion for travel and discovering different cultures. I was born and raised in Poland, and my thirst for adventure led me to study in Belgium at Leuven University before embarking on an Erasmus program in Denmark and Ireland.

In my early 20s, I was lucky enough to travel extensively, visiting every European country, New Zealand, Indonesia, the American Virgin Islands, the Seychelles, Nepal, and Japan. These experiences taught me so much about the world and helped shape who I am today.

Now, in my late 20s, I have settled in the UK and am working on an exciting project in the South, transforming a secluded 16th-century property into a creative haven that connects people to nature, themselves, and each other through their sense of creativity.

I am deeply involved in various creative communities and am always eager to explore more. My passion for meeting new people and learning about different cultures has led me to Couchsurfing, where I am excited to connect with like-minded individuals and explore the world through their eyes. I look forward to hosting travelers and sharing my love of creativity, culture, and adventure with them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am an intrepid explorer with an insatiable thirst for adventure and a desire to connect with all sorts of interesting folks out there. I'm not here to just see the sights and snap some selfies. I'm on a quest to dive headfirst into different cultures, taste new cuisines, and soak up all the wacky, wonderful, and unexpected moments that come my way. Let's broaden our horizons together and make some memories that we'll be bragging about for years to come.

Interests

  • meditation
  • art
  • trekking
  • dance

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm all about living in the moment and experiencing life to the fullest. Dancing is my passion, and I love trying out different styles like contact improvisation and fluidity dance. Meditation and yoga keep me centered and connected to my inner self. When I'm not moving my body or finding my zen, I'm exploring my creative side through non-figurative painting. Life is too short to not indulge in your passions and express yourself freely!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Backpacking through the Himalayas in Nepal during the 2015 earthquake was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. Despite the fear and danger, my fellow backpackers and I pressed on, facing landslides, road closures, and constant aftershocks. But what stands out the most from that journey was witnessing the resilience and kindness of the Nepalese people, who showed us the true meaning of strength in the face of adversity. Through it all, I learned the importance of perseverance, courage, and compassion, and gained a newfound respect for the power of nature and the fragility of human life.

Teach, Learn, Share

'I can give you nothing
that has not already
its origins within yourself

I can throw open no
picture gallery
but your own soul

All I can give you
is the opportunity,
the impulse, the key

I can help make
your own world visible-
that is all. '

Herman Hesse

What I Can Share with Hosts

Traveling has taught me that change is a vital component of the journey.
With years of traveling comes a vast collection of amazing stories and tips, and I'm thrilled to share them with my hosts and guests. I'm also willing to help out with household chores and contribute to creating a positive and respectful Couchsurfing experience. Let's create unforgettable memories and learn from each other!
