Currently I cannot host, because of renovations in my flat!

************************
After years of a nomadic life, I finally settled in one place. But that doasn’t mean I’ve stoped travelling. I travel differently now: closer, more mindfulness, less often. Recently, my principle has been „Less is more””.

I’m a person who works with words - words have power, and I continue to be convinced of this.

Traveling means meeting

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here because I believe in the power of sharing (experiences, smiles, stories, couches, food, friends).
I like (and share) the mentality of CSurfers, who are trying to be rather than to have. In the last few years I've had only good, very good and very funny experiences (in London, Bratislava, Warsaw, Hungary, Poland, Italy ...) and each surfing or hosting experience gives me a lot of energy.
Most of the people that I've met through CS are now my good friends and... my first host on CS is now my love <3 (https://www.couchsurfing.com/users/961429). ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

waking up in the middle of the night for listening to the sunrise Jazz concert in Sardegna;

(illegally) marveling Saint Petersburg from the roof of the city;

Teach, Learn, Share

I can make the most delicious hummus in the whole world and awesome raw cake with millet;
I can show you the less touristic parts of Berlin;
I can teach you Polish and German;
I can just enjoy the time and share this joy with you ;)
