Hello, my name is Kamila and I am a young professional from London. I grew up in Poland and moved to UK aprox. 8 years ago to study in West Midlands.
Currently, I live in London and love exploring this city going to art galleries and theaters, trying new places for eating out and having drinks.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm couchsurfing because I would love to learn more about new cultures and ppl. I think it would be absolutely great if I had a chance to discuss the differences and similarities in different cultures, find out more about their history, fairy tales, customs, and social systems. Generally speaking, all the small things that would never be written about on a Wikipedia page ;)

Besides, when most people travel, they’re surrounded by their friends and family, who are usually coming from the same background. They eat with them, sleep in the same hostel/hotel rooms with them, ride the train with them, and go to bars with them. Sometimes I travel this way too, and sometimes it can be fun. But it’s not the greatest way to fully experience another culture, and it’s definitely not a good way to escape from that safe little bubble that surrounds so many travelers, and protects them from really integrating themselves into the cultures of the places they visit. Showing up at a stranger’s home, having beers with them, and sleeping on their couches is a pretty intense thing to do for most people. Not knowing what to expect is a nerve-wracking feeling, but also an exciting one :).

Lastly, I think it's a great way of meeting new people and possibly starting new friendships.
