ABOUT ME

I love meeting new people and share life-experiences, there's always something new to learn from people around you! I'm trying to live every good moment and enjoy everything that I do. I love cooking delicious meals for my friends and surprise them, walking and running in beautiful countrysides or coasts, swimming and drawing people around me when sitting in the tube or in a coffee shop.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been really enjoying the local communities of Couchsurfers so far, especially International Language Clubs. This is a wonderful way to keep up with practicing foreign languages and keep on meeting people from all around the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Zakopane, Polska. On a winter night, by minus 20°C, we all go outside in the dark, and head to the forest on horse-led sleighs. We have enormous blankets to protect us from the cold, but I can't feel my feet anyway. Every sleigh is holding a flaming torch, forming a chain of yellow lights in the night. Steam is rising from the horses, and the sleighs are sliding fast on the heavy snow. And when we reach the forest of Bukowina, we light an gigantic fire for us kids to grill sausages and marshmallows, that we eat on big slices of brown bread... This was almost unreal and heavenly. It happened in Poland, when I was in secondary school in Warsaw.
