ABOUT ME
I love CS, I had so many great adventures and met so many great people thanks to this site. For me CS is about friendship and sharing. Not about dating and not about "having place to sleep for free".

I love to eat, to cook, to talk about food, read about food. I am vegeterian, the truth is that right now I mostly eat vegan.
And I love to dance. I tried many types of dance. I love tango and contact improvisation. I practice movement meditation, I like all methods, but my heart is especially close to 5 rhythms.
I also like yoga and pilates. And many other sports which I tried and I will try. I adore badminton! Specially on the beach :)
I need to move, in every sense.

I have my own business, I work as a teacher of creative writting and supporter for writers. I teach how to write a book, help authors to write, do creative writing workshops and coures. I really like my job. I love to read and I need to read, for me it's almost like breathing. I was working in Publishing House some years ago, but permanent job in the office is totally not for me. I need to feel free, sometimes work more and sometimes go for vacations spontaneously.

PHILOSOPHY
Be yourself

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to be as open and as positive as I can. I think that being honest in every situation is really important thing in cs.
I'm sorry to write this but as I'm getting a lot of strange messages I would like to underline that CS is not a dating website. If you are looking for a date, go for tinder, it's best for this. And if you would like to meet me, write me why, don't send me message that "you would like to go for a walk and explore city" with me.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted, I surfed. When I am travelling I spend time to search people I would like to meet and I really choose them. CS is not about getting free space to sleep for me, it's about knowing people, sharing, friendship.
When I am hosting it is always great to get the message from someone who really would like to know me!

Interests

Life
Books - every kind. I love to read cookbooks before falling asleep.
Good, interesting conservation. But I also admire people who can be silent, because sometimes I really don't feel like talking.
Food, cooking, eating. Veggie and vegan food. Bread, kinds of bread. Strawberries!
Coffee, but good one, real, not instant coffee. I like to try coffee from different places in the world. Coffee from Portugal! I am completely in love with portugese coffee and the thing that in every place you can get really good one.
Dance, to do it, to watch it. I love to dance and I always want to go dancing.
Sea and storm, desert, strong wind (which makes me feel more alive)
Riding my bike.
Going to cinema
Chinese medicine
Holistic therapies
Conscious movement
Body work
Sometimes being alone.

Music, Movies, and Books

Well, it's hard, because I can't imagine my life without books. And music. Maybe without movies, but it would be hard.

So let start from the end, from movies. The most fantastic movie for me is "Annie Hall". I love it. I watched it hundreds of times and still I can't decide with who I equate more: Annie or Alvy. Of course I like all Woody Allen's movies. I really like Woody Allen too, I wish I could marry him when he was younger...
I always enjoy French movies. I like Charlotte Gainsburg a lot. There is a movie with her role, "Ils Se Marièrent Et Eurent Beaucoup D'Enfants" which I like very much. I also like Tony Gatlif movies, especially "Transylvania". And many many else which I can't remember now. The last movie which raved me was "Beasts of the Southern Wild".
I like documentaries.

About music - I like every music that makes me feel like dancing. I have my special song for being more brave :) I like old music and new one, everything what moves me. I like piano music very much. I listen a lot to polish music as I am very tied to words. I also like listening to radio, in the evenings when there are interesting broadcasts. In Poland just old people listen to broadcasts by the way.

Books - I already wrote so much about books in my profile that I am not sure if it's not enough. Of course there are books which changed my life, and some which I really enjoyed and some which I forgot just after last page. I think there is no point to write any titles, there are to many important for me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I guess I am brave enough to be honest.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn. All the time. I loved to study and the university time was great for me. I always want to learn new dance! And I like to learn new words. I love to get to know new sports.
I can teach you how to bake a cake or cook nice warm breakfast. Or I can give you some tips if you would like to start writing a book.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook veggie meal for you. I would be happy to share with you my stories and listen to you. I would be happy to help you in anything if you need it.
