Overview
About Me
Hi!
I am an extroverted introvert, an open-minded Polish girl, who decided once to spend a gap year in Peru. During my stay in Lima I learnt one of the most beautiful languages in the world - Spanish.
Currently studying Spanish philology at the Jagiellonian University in Cracow, PL and co-leading a small academic society about Latin America at UJ.
In love with foreign languages, good food and listening to people's stories. Always happy to learn something new about the world. Latin America is my biggest fascination.
---------------------
Travelling mostly with my Peruvian boyfriend, Jorge, who is amazed by the small distances between European countries. Everyone calls him Coco. Have you seen the Pixar movie "Coco"?
We have visited together: 2017- Cusco, Machu Picchu, Ancash Region, Pracas, Ica and Nazca.
2018 - Rome, Florence, Cinque Terrre, Milan and Lago di Como.
Planning to hitchhike a lot in 2019, so that's probably when we gonna meet! :)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Travelling is much more than staying at a hotel with the "perfect" set-up for tourists. When I travel somewhere, I want to get to know the place with the locals.
Plus I am just a Polish university student, so I can't really afford hotels in Western European countries.

Music, Movies, and Books
I like to explore different generes and tastes. That's how I don't get bored.
Ask me what is the last book I've read. Currently reading Polish reportages about Latin America (Mexico, Uruguay).
Teach, Learn, Share
I enjoy learning foreign languages. I can teach you some basics of the snake language, Polish or maybe German, which I am pretty good at (DSD II C1).
You could teach me some phrases in your languague in exchange.
