About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find a way of earning money which I actually believe in.

ABOUT ME

I'm a crazy but responsible young women. I love people and I think that world is so incredible that I would like to visit it the length and breadth. Every encountered person can teach us many new things, every friendship is a wonderful experience. Everyone is other but anybody may give us something precious.
For the reason, I decided to leave my family home and move to Cracow to study there. I've never regretted this decision. I met many nice and interesting people and I joined to social organization Erasmus Student Network, so I had many occasions to talk to people from other countries. I loved it! Besides I'm taking part in other international projects like Summer University with AEGEE or Global Citizen with AIESEC ;) In international society I feel incredible good ;) Anyway, I'm a "social" person and I love involving myself in social events and projects ;)

PHILOSOPHY

Work hard, be honest and sincere, love people and don't stop smiling. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been using CS for a few years. I'm spreading this area among my friends and explaining them it's absolutely safe :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A few years ago I was in Ireland with my friend Sara and we're looking for couches by CS:)It was unforgettable journey:)
One year after that I lived in Ireland by two months and I got to known a few people by CS who made my time nicer and helped me in many difficult situations. Later I visited Spain with my best friend Łukasz and we're also sleeping in CS'houses:) Later England...Italy... Mexico... ;)
Thank to all this experiences I met many amazing people and I could be closer to real culture of places which I visited.
I've never had bad experiences.
I'm also trying to help people where they're coming to Cracow, where I live ;)

Interests

Hmmm:)I love world and people and I've many passions. First of all, I'm a local patriot because I love my untypical region - Upper Silesia. Almost every day I show people that our culture is very valuable and our local language needs to be protected.
Besides, I'm interested in social problems and I try to understand these complicated mechanisms that govern the contemporary world. Furthermore, I love dancing salsa - it's my last "souvenir" which I came from.... London;p They've fabulous Latino clubs ;)
and skiing.. especially in Dolomites in Italy ;)it's my second love ;)
and.... of course, I couldn't live without traveling;)

Music, Movies, and Books

I grew up on rock, ska and blues music but nowadays I'm more open and I love for example jazz as well and different kinds of alternative ones. But still I hate techno and I'm not a big fan of electronic style.

It's important to say that I love live music. We've many inspiring festivals in Poland and I really like to take a part of them.

Films? Books? Definitely, something moving, not trivial, forcing to think... giving an occasion to find out something... but at the same time I love intelligent humor, so my favorite directors are Woody Allen and Pedro Almodovar. I also respect polish cinema despite even common unflattering opinion about it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've started to dance salsa :) It gives so much positive energy... It includes a lot of emotions. It's just indescribable, you must feel it!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can also divide my experiences with many international projects ;)
