About Me

I started working as a speed reading trainer over 15 years ago, because I dream of revolutionising our archaic educational system. Recently I'm equally passionate about creation the English language course in Poland, to make my clients feel at home everywhere in the world and have access to all the awesome books I'm enjoying in english.

Basically though, I just love talking with people, making them laugh and helping them out.

Above all, I value kindness and authentic connection with other people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting interesting people. Having deep conversations with people from all around the world is fascinating for me.

I've always stayed with friends when I travelled. Travelling is about the people and I can't experience the people living in a hotel. I like to stay connected... But I ran out of friends abroad! So I ended up here ;-)

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm the biggest bookworm I know. For my work I dig into scientific literature in the field of neurology - I love learning about the amazing potential of human brain.

After work, I devour sci-fi and fantasy. My all time favourites: Scott Lynch's "The Lies of Locke Lamorra", Brandon Sanderson's "The Stormlight Archive" and "Elantris", Dan Simmons's "Hyperion" and The Martian. But that's just a few out of hundreds...

I'm also reading a lot of personal development and spiritual wisdom books, like Tony Robbins, Brian Tracy, Joe Vital, Osho, Esther Hicks, Clarissa Pincola Estes.

When I'm too tired to read though, I love a good TV series. My current favourites are Suits, Blacksails, The Last Ship and Dark Matter.

I listen to a lot of underground rap with my boyfriend, but really, the the best music for me is just anything chill and relaxing, or with tons of positive energy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I wrote a book in 7 days.

I called it "Tactics of Fast Learning". I was writing it in a beautiful Japanese Garden in Wrocław, surrounded by nature. I'm not sure I'd be able to pull that one off again...

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my insight into fast learning, speed reading, improving memory and plenty of other topics regarding self-improvement and productivity. I've been teaching those things for over 15 years now so I could spend a week talking and I wouldn't run out of things to say...

I can also recommend amazing books, TV series and cooking recipes.

I would love to learn how to speak with a more british accent, so any feedback regarding my pronounciation would be lovely <3

What I Can Share with Hosts

My sense of humour.
Lots of laughter.
An interesting, insightful conversation.
I can also cook up something pretty good.
