ABOUT ME

I have two personalities, one is peaceful, the other one is wild. It depends with who I am spending my time with. I'm not always serious, but always well mannered. I have a weird sense of humor. I like the things that catch my attention by being different, weird, unusual, ugly or extremely pretty. I love nature and being outside. I'm trying to be eco friendly and respect what mother earth gave us. I'm not much of a party animal, but there are days when I enjoy drinking local drinks and just dance. Mountains, ocean, music and certain people take my breath away. I absolutely love art, books, morning walks and lazy breakfasts, forest in the dawn, summer evenings with friends, wine dancing and talking.

PHILOSOPHY

don't hurt people, be healthy and enjoy life

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I love getting to know people from different cultures. Every person has a story to tell. It is more enriching to spend time abroad with actual people, families, getting to know the best of local culture and share my experience with new friends than to spend time in a hotel.. so capitalistic (Marx would be proud).

Interests

reading, writing, travelling, politics, social justice, oenology, ethnology, dancing. I really love spending time with new friends and getting to know people who are not from my social circle, country, age, who do not speak the same language and who have different experiences.

Music:

everything really, but If I had to pick it's mostly folk, indie, classical.

Movies: let's talk about it in person :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swimming in the fountain in Paris, getting lost somewhere on the French village.
Taking part in Marches, organizing feminist marches in Poland. Experiencing rain/storm on the desert in Iran, a musical party with homemade wine in the Iranian village.

To be honest, the amazing things don't have to be spectacular... painting walls with a friend and listening to music + drinking wine is as amazing of an experience as climbing mountains.

Teach, Learn, Share

I guess we constantly learn new things simply by talking to new people, doing things for the first time.
I could teach you a new language, talk about literature, movies, music or history.
