My name is Kasia and I am a sound design student from Warsaw, Poland. I work as a barista in one of the most charming cafes in Warsaw.
I am very open-minded, easy-going, friendly person and nature-loving jazz music enthusiast. I am always excited to meet new people, make new friendships and learn about new cultures.
I am interested in film and music, attending and volunteering in all kinds of festivals.
While traveling I try to learn about new culture from a local perspective.
I am very tidy and I like to respect other people's habits.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to make new friendships, learn about new cultures, travel around the world and share my lifetime adventures with others.

Interests

I am interested in jazz and Cuban music. I attend jazz workshops every year and take singing classes. I would be happy to show you Polish jazz scene in Warsaw while hosting and and visit some of your favorite live music spots while visiting. I can tell you all about Polish cinematography and recommend some exceptional movies to watch. I also make homemade cosmetics, and I would be happy to share my discoveries with you.
