In every life we have some trouble but if you worry you make it double :) be an optimist.
Made me smile reading it after years.

ABOUT ME

I'm Mary. Originally from Poland, but my heart lives in the Netherlands where I've lived more than 5 years. My professional path, education and mostly drive to explore took me all over. After living Poland at the age of 18, I lived in Germany to save up for studies in the Netherlands... you know following a big dream. Then, Holland, UK -internships, Malaysia -study exchange, Singapore-establishing own business, the Netherlands again -work, UK-master degree and now I'm in Dubai both working and studying. I love being busy, meeting people and trying new things.

Currently, I run my own coaching and training practice, focusing on leadership development. I'm fascinated by cross-cultural communication aspects within coaching and business communication.

Free time?
I've been training kayaking for 7 years when I still lived in Poland. Sport is still a big part of my life, running, basketball, fitness...you name it. Also, museum and art trips are a must of my month. Love photography and learning new languages.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people. I believe that we learn through diverse experience and through coauchsurfing we are able to hear about other people's experiences so we can broaden our pool by so much.

Interests

As you probably have just read I love sport- all kinds of. I
My second passion is art. You can wander "art - what does art mean"- and that's good because nowadays almost anything can be called as ART, and I love it. I'm into photography as well.
