About Me

Hi!
I'm twenty two and for a quite long time I was living in Katowice in the south of Poland. In October I'm moving to Kraków, one of the most exciting cities in Poland and I can't wait for that!
Also, for a half of a year I was living in Granada in Spain and that was one of the best experiences in my life. I love the spanish lifestyle, cuisine and people, and of course SIESTA! Also I met there amazing people from Mexico, Turkey and Latvia.
But in normal life I'm a student of jorunalism, now on Jagiellonian University. I also work a lot, now I'm a bar attender and I work in advertising agency. I also give English lessons for children, which I really like.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because when I went for Erasmus, I understood that I love meeting people from diffrent cultures and sharing with them our differences and similarities. Being with so many people make you feel that you are a real global citizen and there's nothing that can stop you.

Interests

My main interest is cinema in general. I love watching movies, I was also participating in some movie sets which was an amazing adventure. I love going on movie festivals, my dream is to take part in festival in Cannes one day.
I also love food, in general. I love eating (mostly), cooking and learing about cuisine from different part of the world. For now, my favourite one is that from Andalusia in Spain, full of seafood, fruits and vegetables.

Music, Movies, and Books

I change my taste in music very often, I can't focus on one special type. But I think that I can say that my favouirite musician is Bjork. I love that she is a little bit an alien. I also like Damon Albarn with everytihing he does and Radiohead.
It's very hard to choose my favourite movie, but I think that one of the most important are: Lost in translation, Frances Ha, 2001: A Space Odyssey and also Birdman won my heart this year.
In books - I love Cortazar. Everything he did. Specially "Hopscotch"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I felt like a superhero when I helpes one girl to improve her English skills. From not knowing how to ask for a name she was able to pass her English exam very well after only few months of hard work.

Teach, Learn, Share

Mainly I'd love to share some cooking skills, I can teach something and I also want to learn as much as it's possible about local cuisine.
I also love sharing thoughts about cinema, it's always interesting.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my good sense of humor and I can cook some Polish couisine specialities!
