About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"J'ai decide d'etre heureuse, parce que c'est bon pour la sante"

ABOUT ME

Good movie or travel... always! Coffee... maybe (never more than 3 per day), walking in the rain... why not (I'm still hoping to grow a little bit more). Wherever I go one thing is sure... somebody will tell me: "You are alike..." or "I think that I've already met you". Despite that I must have a lot of twins everywhere I still believe that I'm unique somehow...and you can easily recognise me by my distinguishing features:
- I'm an ex-EVS (european volunteer in France) and now I'm helping to the volunteers who are living in Cracow to feel good in my city
- When I'll start to talking about the movies my eyes should light up
- I'm a great fan of squirrels and proud owner of Gordon (who is "alike" squirrel ;)
- I love travels and my friends (or travelling with my friends or meeting new friends...)
- World is such an interesting place for me (especially people and cultures and I want to know MORE!)
- I'm always lost in big cities, forests and mountains but I'll always survive and still believe in my sense of direction
- I love visiting parks (and taking a nap there when I'm visiting cities)
- Even if I try not to be usually I'm late about 11 minutes
- Usually when I laugh I cry too but there is nothing better than crying from laughing!

PHILOSOPHY

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.

Everyone smiles in the same language

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

With 2 hands, 2 legs, a head and my smile :D Ok normally I have also my backpack...

Until now I haven't hosted anyone but my flatmate hosts quite often and we have a lot surfers in our flat. So if I have time I'm trying to participate and help in making other people feel at home and welcomed, and have fun!
(So some of "small" references you can find at my flatmate's profile where I'am described as "flatmate" or "rommate" ;D)

And ok I'm trying to spread this idea wherever I go.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was hosted sevaral times and participated in several meetings and parties. I meet surfers regulary in my flat... until now not very big but always great!
