Born and raised in beautiful city of Wrocław, southern Poland. Supposed to be a lawyer and live my whole life in that beautiful city, but instead I decided to chase my dreams. I have taken part in a student exchange program, which has turned my life upside down. Currently I live in Warsaw, capital city of Poland, where I work as a therapist for children with special needs. Helping other people is the thing that keeps me going.

I see myself as a calm person who is always searching for the peace of mind. On the other hand, my friends often say I'm crazy. Probably the truth about me lies somewhere in between ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a great opportunity to meet people from other countries. Having guests from the other parts of the world is also a way of traveling for me. Besides, I love to learn from other people and expand my horizons this way.

Interests

Photography and anything that is connected to it (taking pictures, looking at pictures, sending pictures, making photo books, covering the walls of my apartment with pictures ;), organising a photo exhibitions). I am more into modern photography, but I am also keen on work of more classical artists.

Music. I know it might sound cliche, but any kind of genre will do. Mostly, I listen from pop, through rock, finishing at electronic music. Music is a big part of my life, so expect to hear music for the most of the time while staying at my place.

Cinema, movies. Preferred on a big screen.

Knitting. Whenever I have time I try to knit scarfs, gloves and other things for my friends. I believe that presents made from the scratch are the best one. Maybe will finish my yarn-bombing project soon ;)

Cooking and baking, especially with friends.

Traveling, what is quite obvious I guess ;) I did a lot of trips around Europe, and I think it's time to conquer other parts of the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had taken part in a student exchange program that lasted for 2 years. During that time I lived in North Wales for 4 months, in Warsaw for 6 months and in California for 10 months. But what is most important, I was given the opportunity to learn from great people that are passionate about what they are doing. Moreover, I was able to see so many beautiful places and make meaningful friendships that still last.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can definitely teach you how to knit! ;)
