My name is Kinga, I'm a polish girl currently living in Paris. I studied psychology and American Studies at University of Warsaw. I'm an easy going person, most of the time a huge optimist. I adore meeting new people, searching adventures with them or maybe only sitting at the table at late evening and talking, while sipping wine. I'm a vegetarian and love cooking veggie meals.
A cat person (have two of those cuties), constantly surrounded by animals - 4 dogs and 2 cats - and loving it!
I looooove eating. I could spend hours discussing food. Maybe that's why I ended up in a restaurant job.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've always considered travelling to be mostly about people I meet in different, possibly beautiful places, but not only sightseeing and wandering around the city. I love hearing peoples stories and their points of view and just hanging out with them somewhere.

Interests

Can't decide what to choose really. It's constantly changing.
I really love cinema or watching tv-series at late night. When I'm home having some free time I'd usually watch something or grab a book and stay up late to finish it.
Lately I've discovered my new amazing hobby - horseback riding and believe me galloping on a huge glade in the mountains is just awesoooome.
Taking analogue photos (they are not very good, but still I enjoy it) with my Praktica.
I love getting lost in new city I'm in!
Of course also having fun and partying, dancing, going to festivals.
I adore sitting, drinking coffee, smoking cigarettes and enjoying it.

Music, Movies, and Books

About movies:
I love watching movies and TV-series!
I really enjoy watching lighthearted shows like The Office, Brooklyn 99 or Scrubs after a long day. Apart from that I really loved shows like True Detective, Big Little Lies, The Great ect. And I loveee watching RuPaul's Drag Race!!

I'm more into listening rock, but I'm not picky. Now I listen a lot to chill french music, sometimes polish as well. Generally I'm very flexible with music and I like mostly everything with couple exceptions. Depends on the mood.
But the best one yet for cheering up is "I wanna be like you" by King Louie from Jungle Book(old). no kidding.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to learn some basics of your language, discover authentic, local places and simply share your company, hear all of your amazing stories. But also salsa dancing,
I can offer those things back as well, teach you something about my country, share my stories and my points of view, and a good laugh.
I can make you some (hopefully) good vegan/vegetarian meals.
And we can together shoot with my analogue camera.
