About Me

Hey!

I love to travel. I love to meet people. I love to learn languages. I love to LEARN in general.
I'm 23yo student. I can show you around in Warsaw or meet in your city / in the city that we'll both visit. I'm vacinated.

I like to spend time with friends - talking, playing board games, dancing, cooking (I'm not a good cook but I can always chop smth +I can bake really good brownie!), singing, ...

my biggest passion is Yiddish (and I love the international community of Yiddishists)

I wrote there before: "in the future I want to be a teacher (it's my dream since I was 7yo!)" - and here I am now: teaching Yiddish - hopefully for the rest of my life
I'm also learning how to teach Polish as a foreign language (wow, it's really difficult! congrats for all of you who learn it)

feminist, antifascist, vegetarian, lgbtqa+ friendly

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think Couchsurfing is a great opportunity to meet interesting people, to find out smth new about your cultures, learn about your countries +I think it's nice to host someone when you have the opportunity to do so

Interests

I have many interests. Sometimes I think that too many but what can I do :)

The most important for me now are: languages, singing, books (not only as literature but also as the objects)
