Hello! I'm Karol and I'm Polish, currently living in extraordinary city of Warsaw - be welcome! :-) A few years ago I also lived in Sao Paulo, Brazil, where I did my exchange semester as a part of CEMS Master's in International Management. This is where I have completely fallen in love in Latin culture. Since that time, I played batucada (Brazilian drums for samba), learned some salsa and samba, learnt to speak Portuguese and now doing my best improving my Spanish.

Whenever I can I travel in the southern direction - the further, the better! Brazil has a special place in my heart and I've seen quite a lot there. This year I decided to get back there just for holiday to visit some missing spots from my previous stay there - and it was amazing! In case you are interested - I can talk hours about Brazil! :)

When travelling, I usually prefer nature to old monuments. Monuments are fine, but great beaches, mountains and cultural vibe really gives me what I need from travelling.

Honestly speaking, I have never slept over with couchsurfing. I have been to plenty of hostels so far, but never used cs and I can't stop wondering how it could happen! If you could help me change it, I would be so grateful! :) Next stop: Andalucia, Spain 27.04-05.05.2019.

Btw personally I'm gay, but of course open to anyone who is kind, fun and tolerant. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a beginner :)

I love travelling, many times solo travelling, have been to plenty of hostels, but still never used couch surfing. High time to change it!

Being anywhere in the world I really enjoy immersing the local culture as much as possible. It's really true, living in Brazil I learned Portuguese for a reason! :) I hope cs experience would much help me experience that.
