Overview
About Me
I'm a fresh graduate trying to find her place in Warsaw where I now live and work. Unfortunately, I cannot host because I do not have my own apartment, but I will gladly show you around Warsaw, even though I am quite new to this place myself ;) I try to be open minded and I really like meeting new people and getting to know about other cultures
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
For me travelling is not only exploring new places, but mainly getting to know people and their stories - and I think couchsurfing is just perfect for that.
Interests
I think my interests might sound very typical: I mainly like reading books, listening to music and watching films (and I am afraid I might have gotten addicted to Netflix). The books I read vary, I read everything from books about architecture, film history, totalitarianism and psychology (I like to get serious sometimes) to fantasy and science-fiction. The same goes for music: I listen to almost all types of music -I divide music into one I like and one I don't - words like "rock", "rap", "techno" etc are just labels that I do not really care about. Besides that I tried playing the ukulele and a guitar once, unfortunately both of these instruments now just sit in my room and make me feel very very very guilty for wasting my potential and money (mostly money). Apart from that I like riding my bike, although I sometimes get lost on the way...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
After getting a master's degree in English Philology, I decided to change my future plans entirely, self-taught myself programming and two years later got a position as a Java programmer, so I guess you really can be anyone you want... ;)
