About Me

Hi, I'm Katie. I live in the UK and I'm Polish. I live close to an airport and I like travelling every now and then. Having seen most of Europe, I now prefer less popular countries, mostly former Soviet republics. I'm also re-visiting countries where I didn't stay long before.

My life story is somehow longer than my actual life. I may look 16, but mentally, I'm 32.

~Still working on my profile~

❌I'm not here for dating etc.

I'm after social and intellectual connection. Couchsurfing for me is for cultural exchange and community-based travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A Couchsurfer from Kazakhstan (GuGu/Gulya) encouraged me to join. She's an amazing person, by the way.

Interests

I'm an aviation enthusiast (airplanes, airports, airlines) with side-interests in geopolitics, ethnography etc.

I'm vaguely interested in re-training in psychology. I like studying neurodevelopmental disorders (like autism/Aspergers) and have done volunteer and academic work on this.

Music, Movies, and Books

I haven't been doing much of this lately. I'm also generally behind on trends. I prefer non-fiction to fiction, though I might be into sci-fi.

Alternative rock and some indie music. Linkin Park, Crowded House.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

•Overcome adversity;
•Got into university as a high school drop-out;
•Freelanced as an academic translator from the age of 14 in some niche fields

Teach, Learn, Share

Reflections on life that come from travelling and living in my head a bit. I'm very open-minded about many topics.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cultural exchange, interesting conversations, lesser-known air travel hacks, sense of humour and wit. People say I'm polite etc

I try to bring a small gift or show gratitude in another way. Let me know if there's anything I can do for you. I never want to take more than I could ever give back.

Can help people practice their English etc
