CURRENT MISSION

Try. Take chances. Be happy. MAKE DO ;)

ABOUT ME

Hi guys, :) My name is Karolina. Currently I'm a journalism student at University of Warsaw, I'm earning my master's degree here.

In the coming year I am going to study in Zagreb, Croatia as a Erasmus student. (yay!)

***

Last year I took a break from studing, cuz I needed just travelling, reading, thinking and believe me, it was the best year in my life :)
To be less hippie, more rational, I was working for a while also. But it was cool, too ;)

PHILOSOPHY

Do what you are afraid of, that is the only way to overcome your fears.

Collect moments, no things.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

About surfing: I'm travelling a lot, so it would be great to meet new people. If you are not able to offer me a host, but you can show me around the city or have some lunch with me, I would also love to do it :)

About hosting: If you gonna to visit Warsaw, you can send me a message. I'm not always able to host, but often I can offer you some help or spending time together.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had some CS experience and that was pretty awesome ! Last two holidays we were travelling with my friends through Europe by old VW van.
That is our profile:

I have met amazing, interesting, hospitable people. I rememeber that at first I couldn't belive travelling may be so cool! ;)
Then I fell in love with that unique atmosphere and people.

Intereses

For starters I think that I'm crazy intrested in people.
Stories, converstations, new experiences and observations is sth what is able to make my day.
Maybe that is connected with my future job - I just love listening and learning new things.

That's why I travel also:)
I like:
- reading - I can do it everytime and everywhere ;)
- jogging - that's the way I cope with stress and I do enjoy evening running in the city!
- riding a bike - instead of using public transport or car I'm riding a bike -all-the-time.
- cooking and baking - I'm definitely not a masterchef :D but spending time in the kitchen, making sth tasty? ang creative is so joyfull for me
- Balkans' history and culture - I spent there only one month last summer and it was absolutely too short. I was impressed and very intrigued. I'm coming baaack sooon !
- Lazy days in the park, in the wood, on the lakeside or by the river.. on the grass
- follow the news - yes, that's my hobby. (but don't tell them)

Música, películas y libros

I can talk about it for hours.
That is so many books I want to read and so many films i would love to watch, that I'm afraid, my life's too short.
Generally I prefer non-fiction literature, but my favourite book is sooo fiction.
I'm a big fan of Woody Allen, Jim Jarmusch and Emir Kusturica.
I was weaned on rap music but recently I have tasted some classic rock, punk and indie rock and I like it.

Algo increíble que he hecho

After our car had been broken, me and my friends decided to change plans and travel to Balkans by hitchhiking. We repacked and started a trip in few hours, without any knowlegde and preparations for that kind of journey.
I think that people I met on my way there, were the most amazing, surprisingly-hospitable, kind and wonderful experience in my life.
Since that time, I am a fierce fan of hitchhiking!

Enseña, aprende, comparte

There is plenty of things I want do learn like languages: Italian, Russian, Ukrainian also.
Always want to improve my English, too.
I can share my knowledge about media, books, films during drinking tea/coffee/bear. Anyone need it? :D
Maybe I can help with Polish also. haha - Anyone need it, again ?
