ABOUT ME

This profile originally belonged to 2 people but currently, only I (Karolina) am using it. I try to travel as much as I can but so-called "an adult life" got me. On a daily basis I work and every Monday morning I look forward to Friday evening. Yep, that's pretty much for now.

************ 2016/2017: We're not together again! Zuza is going to spend a year in China and Karolina - in the USA. She was living for a year in Boston, MA.

****SUMMER 2015: This summer we are spending separate also:

KAROLINA is going to travel abroad this summer - Germany, Netherlands, France, Belgium.

****** Summer 2014: Right now we travel alone - Zuza is going to China while Karolina is going to the USA. We use the same profile because we're too good friends to have separate profiles;-) and because we started our couchsurfing adventure together - we have a lot of memories related to this profile ******

Zuzanna studies sinology (Chinese studies) and Karolina is a psychologist and socio-therapist

We both know each another quite well, we used to be classmates, now we're best friends and travel together (but sometimes apart;-). We both may seem shy at the first moment. We're friendly and open-minded, we're always willing to know (and learn) something new.

Karolina - education, the psychology of personality, and child psychology, handcrafting, sewing, drawing, Twin Peaks, Jane Austen's novels, strawberries, cats, travelling, beekeeping, green tea, knitting, cross-stitching, mountains and sarcastic people. And more, but it's a secret.

Zuzanna is interested in hand crafts - she can sew and does pottery, she likes designing clothes and reading books. She's good at learning new languages. She spent a year in China studying chinese filology in 2014 and right now she's majoring in sinology(in China again). She is patient, polite and gives the best advice in the whole world!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

still waiting for that

Insegna, impara, condividi

Of course we can teach Polish language (it's not so difficult as is sounds;), how to cook pierogi and bake a sponge cake (ciasto drożdżowe) as well as how to create your own world in your head, which is very useful (because reality bites)
