Hey there!

I'm Michalina - a 22 y.o. girl from Poland. I study at the American Studies Center at the University of Warsaw and I am an English teacher. I love my job, but I'm still trying to find my place in the world. I am a very upbeat person that hates boredom and likes to analyze and overthink everyFUCKINthing.

Oh, and I'm also learning Norwegian. I have no idea why I chose this language at Uni - one of the most random decisions ever, really. But I ended up loving it and since starting the course I immersed myself more in the Scandinavian culture. This year I spent three weeks in Stavanger helping at a newly opened hostel and I fell in love with Norway even more!

And I have one serious addicition. (my dad says it's actually an unhealthy obsession though)

I'm basically a travel addict and I spend every penny on that. I have visited 27 countries so far, mostly as a solo traveler and I'm still striving for more! Traveling is my greatest teacher, the best mood buster and a thing that makes me feel alive. Hikes, weird food, unknown places - yaaas, gimme more! In November I'm going to Israel, in December I'm off to South-East Asia and I'm traveling to Morocco in February. Very excited about my plans!

IN WARSAW

I can accept guests whenever my roommate is gone (and she's gone quite often haha) - message me and I'll try to do everything to host you! :) Also, if you wanna grab a beer or just hang out - write a message as well! I work, study and travel a lot so I don't have a lot of time to host, but like I said - text me cuz maybe I have a weekend off :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I wanna know more stories, talk to more people and share my own experiences as well! :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm an electronic music lover! Techno, all kinds of house. I basically listen to music 24/7 - I wake up and go to sleep listening to music, so yeah.

Books? Harry Potter (childhood memories <3) and everything Steinbeck

Movies? I love Tarantino, Hitchcock and von Trier. I keep on struggling to understand Lynch, but I will get there, I promise.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hmmm... I went on a road trip around the Balkans with 15 people I didn't know. I also traveled to Latvia for 2 euros :D
