About Me

I was an ERASMUS MUNDUS exchange student in Poland for 1 year where I finished my first year of Masters in International Relations. This cultural exchange changed me on many levels and I became a more mature and open minded person. I am always looking for new experiences and challenges. Traveling, discovering new cultures and being exposed to multicultural environments are some of the major reasons of motivation in my life. I love it when I meet someone from a different culture and find that we have so much in common and get over all the stereotypes and cultural barriers.

Some of my favorite quotes about traveling:

“Traveling, it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.” – Ibn Battuta

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness.” – Mark Twain

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet new people from different cultures, even if I wasn’t able to host them I will try to find time to hang out or to give some tips. I work for long hours so it can be difficult to host on a regular basis.

Interests

I'm obsessed with history and politics. I like to learn the history of cities and historical sites that I visit, especially when it's related to the Second World War.
