About Me

People&food freak. Honestly, nothing else gives me so much joy and pleasure. I love people's stories especially told while sharing a bottle of wine and some snack. My dream is to achieve a career focused on food. I've worked as a cook, waitress, restaurant's marketing manager and I even wrote for a culinary magazine. Imagine eating, taking photos and writing about food - it was really a job of my dreams!

Currently I'm studying journalism and working in Cracow. Meanwhile (or mainly) I'm a passionate traveler spending all my money on travels and food.

All your pets will find a way to my heart!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Best way to meet people, learn about their cultures, culinary traditions and languages. I hate staying in hotels and missing the oportunity to widen my horizons.

Both - Couchsurfing and hitchhiking - seem to me like the incredible ways to learn about people's life's, everyday choices, worries and joys. Everyone finds happiness in a different way and it's a wonderful opportunity to discover someone's "life patches". Inspirational, thought-provoking, sometimes revolutionary.
One day you meet a busy businessman proud of his career, the other a villager happy with his field and family. Amazing!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Going alone on to Spain for 6 months. At first it seemed scary to leave my friends and family for a half of the year but then I learned so much and developped skills I've never dreamt of having.

Teach, Learn, Share

Random ingredients at your fridge? I'll create a surprising food from (almost) everything. I love languages - you can practice your skills with me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Spending all time together, talking, cooking, partying, having fun or just being a quiet, calm, almost invisible guest? You choose!
I'm flexible so the way of spending our time depends on you. I'll appreciate your time and care but still, won't be worried if you're busy.
