PLEASE DO NOT TREAT COUCHSURFING AS A DATING WEBSITE!!!
I'M HERE TO MEET AND MAKE NEW FRIENDS!!

CURRENT MISSION

Be happy and make other people happy! Find internal peace and share it with others...

ABOUT ME

Very friendly and adventurous!
Sometimes a little stubborn but constantly working on becoming softer and more tolerant... :)
I love exploring the world, making friends from different countries and endlessly reshaping my world-views through new encounters.

I speak fluent French, Polish and English. I have a basic Russian and a good command of spoken Hebrew (still working hard on the writing and reading part).
Next on my list: Arabic, Spanish and Italian. Too ambitious, I know... But I love it! Learning a language is the best way to discover a new culture and way of thinking!

PHILOSOPHY

Smile. Listen. Share. Give. Receive. Open up. Move.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am moving around quiet a lot but when I am in Paris I am always happy to meetup! Now living in a 9 m room so unfortunately can't really host anyone... :(

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had done couchsurfing at friends all over Europe in the last couple of years and I have regularly hosted friends and friends of friends in Paris.

音乐、电影和书籍

I love reading. It makes me travel. It makes me understand others and myself.
It's hard to say which are my favorite books as I feel this changes all the time according to the place where I am in life.
Still I'd say that Szymborska has poems that suit almost every one of my moods. And The Master and Marguerita by Bulgakov, 100 years of solitude by Garcia Marquez, On the Road by Kerouac, The Joke by Kundera are definitively on my list of favorite books.

I'm very eclectic as far as music is concerned. But lately I have a preference for happy and groovy music. I just discovered Gambian Kora while waiting for the train in NY and I loved it! Any recommendation in that genre welcomed!

Same goes for movies. Very eclectic taste. Ranging from Frankenstein Junior to Midnight Cowboy to Good Morning Vietnam. The Grand Budapest and Darjeeling Limited are my two last favorites.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I've lived for long periods of time in Warsaw, Oxford/London, Tel-Aviv and Jerusalem and I just came back from two months in New-York!
This may seem trivial but I feel unbelievably privileged to have experienced the every day life of other cities than my hometown. That is for me the real way to travel the world...

The best form of traveling I have experienced so far was taking a cargo ship across the Mediterranean... One of the best weeks in my life.

教，学，和分享

I used to teach French and English before I became a TA at Uni in Constitutional Law. I just love teaching. It's a strange skill but I believe I am really good at it. So if anyone is in pain studying constitutional law (I'm a comparative lawyer so I can help for a few countries at least on the basic level) or French, English or Polish I'd be happy to help!

I know how to make good Italian coffee in the macchinetta (learnt it from a n Italian sailor on the cargo ship I took to visit Israel for the first time). It's a very precise science! :)

I started making my own (simple!) cosmetics and I'd be happy to share my discoveries and recipes!
