Hi!
I am Marta and I am so excited about my next trip!
Travelling has massively shaped my life. My parents have always given me a lot of autonomy and I have travelled lonely since I was little (for example when I was 14 around the US, when I was 17 around Serbia).
I grew up in a bilingual Polish-Spanish family and lived in both countries. Moreover, at the age of 14 I moved to the US in order to learn English and lived with a host family.
For the last few years, I have been heavily involved in competitive debating. Last year, I had the honor of representing Poland at World Schools Debating Championships. This year, I am one of the coaches of the National Team.
Currently, I am studying French Language&Literature at the University of Warsaw. With some friends I founded the Linguistics Society where we organize meetings about Linguistics.
Moreover I enjoy walking and spending time with friends! And pretty much every weekend I travel for debating.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love exploring the world and meeting friends! The best memories from my travels are with people that I met along the way!
