CURRENT MISSION

This year I will graduate from university. It is the time to embrace life and ask major questions: what is my contribution? What is the meaning of my mission here? What is the sense behind the road that took me here? The other "mission" is to grow as a human being. The last years made me realise that the answers and the questions itself come with the people I meet during travels and other valuable, or crazy, initiatives. I try to keep with a fresh sight on life, as a child, and to be in contact with my heart more - to find joy in each day. I believe, I can do this while meeting other persons, how important each person is! Hello to everyone :)

I'm working on my project called Time Machine which is set to be a great journey across Europe -meeting new persons, ecouraging them to make their dreams come true, to smile, bright up their day... Sharing simple message of joy, playing music, dancing together on the road with new friends - a Time Machine to a bit older times with less technology but more human interactions :)

My friend and I (both students, me a graduate this year) are planning to set off this summer for a big travel through Europe. We both have this chapter in life of discovering, starting anew. I was waiting for this travel for many years. Can't wait for it. We are open for the changes, for spontaniety. We believe we can learn a lot and meet amazing people in this time. :)

ABOUT ME
I believe my friends and family could say a lot about me, so I won't speak of myself much. I love travelling, music (singing, playing), swimming in the sea and connecting with people, discovering with them. I love to watch the sunrise, sunset - each day is new hope, new smile of the sun! I'm studying English Philology, work as an English teacher and freelance translator at times. I live in my beloved Poland and meet a lot of international friends here. I would love to study music and film in the future. I'm a person who loves to try new things, but at the same time seeks harmony, need peace like air, and nature plays a very important part of my life. Born philosopher!

PHILOSOPHY

A day without laughter is a day lost.
A day without sunrise and sunset in your eyes is a day when something important is missed.
Unity, peace and understanding in the midst of difference.
Eyes and sight of a child, seeking for truth, appreciating each day and people.
Loving is the key.

'More than machinery, we need humanity.'

'I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.'

'Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet.'

'Well, yes, ma'am, I do... I mean, I got everything I need right here with me. I got air in my lungs, a few blank sheets of paper. I mean, I love waking up in the morning not knowing what's gonna happen or, who I'm gonna meet, where I'm gonna wind up. Just the other night I was sleeping under a bridge and now here I am on the grandest ship in the world having champagne with you fine people. I figure life's a gift and I don't intend on wasting it. You don't know what hand you're gonna get dealt next. You learn to take life as it comes at you... to make each day count.'

And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.'

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am a beginner, but I hope I can contribute, especially after renting a flat on my own and graduating! :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A little, but it is just the beginning! :) Full of enthusiasm and gratitude for being here.

Interests

I love music - singing, playing. Dancing, swimming, being close to nature, especially water and the mountains - it heals me and helps embrace all the life experience at the present moment. Currently, I work on a small film and would love to record moments from the planned journey through Europe. My other interests are the Mediterranean culture, travelling, philosophy, languages (I would love to learn Italian and Greek) :)

Music, Movies, and Books

A lot to say! I would love to talk about it! :) I listen to a lot of different genres, a lot of artists inspire me through different chapters of my life. Music good to dance (modern hits)... bachata and kizomba music. Then, from r&b of 50's to instrumental independent artists. From electronic classics as ATB, chillout , film music, classical, to soft rock, Turkish, Polish music also:) Nat King Cole, Sam Cooke, Andy Williams are one of my loved artists for a peaceful day of reflection. Tom Day, Tree Adams. James Blunt. Jon Foreman. And I also love Edd Sheeran! ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I let myself open up my heart to new persons, travelled spontaneously to different countries alone. I left my appearances and moved to a city far away from my hometown - it all took me to a different place in life, new way! :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to share my experience, dreams, languages - Polish is my superpower. ;)
Learn: to play music, filmmaking :)
I would also love to listen to others experience, learn about volunteer experience in other countries, about music, and culture-language centres for foreigners. I would love to take up a job connected with sharing, doing something meaningful - inspiration very welcome! :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Travel experience, Polish culture, English and Polish lessons. And of course, pierogi! :)
