About Me

I love art, sun and a sea, meeting new people, learning new languages and perspectives, collecting new experiences. I always intend to spread positivity and create beautiful moments.
Life for me is an never ending growth experience and a learning journey.

One day I want to be a polyglot, currently I'm learning Spanish and just started learning Italian.

I'm fascinated by light and colours so photography is always a big part of my travels.

I'm learning to play guitar and sing, I also love yoga, cooking.

CURRENTLY I DON'T HAVE A POSSIBILITY TO HOST IN MY FLAT, SO PLEASE DON'T SEND ME REQUESTS FOR THAT.
I am only available to meeting up with travellers, preferably of similar age group or that I have some similar interests in common with. Also, sorry that I even have to state this here, but COUCHSURFING IS NOT TINDER. PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT ME IF YOUR ONLY INTENTION IS A TRAVEL HOOK UP OR YOU JUST WANT A GIRL TO TALK TO. I find it inappropriate if men, especiallt who are way older than me / have a profile with no reviews, no description and only one blurry picture contact me. Trust me, it happens way too often 😕 I was even messaged by someone who didn't put their first name in a profile, was 15 years older and didn't know if he is even coming to my country, but "wanted to chat with me in case one day he does". Just... Don't destroy the atmosphere of this portal.

Music, Movies, and Books

It's hard to speak about favourites, as I love exploring new things all the time. Art is my salvation and liberation, I choose what I will listen to, watch, read, based on my mood, my current experiences...

But when it comes to movies, I think one of my favourites are "Call me by your name", "Only lovers left alive". I also adore watching music documentaries, so recommend me one if you know any!

What always moves me is the sound of a guitar, of a piano and a hangdrum and I would love to learn those instruments.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

With a group of women I sailed all accross the country on a small wooden river boat while protesting against environmental destruction and promoting protection of rivers via organizing fashion shows of upcycled and embroidered fashion suits.

A first embroidery I did in my life ended up in Polish edition of Vogue.

I lived in a botanical garden for a month and I learned there how to clone plants in in vitro cultures :D

Secretly I was a manager of several student rock bands for a couple of years.

On my 25th birthday I was sailing down Vistula river on a leaf-shaped raft I made with a friend.

I was a part of a female collective called Siostry Rzeki, organizing artistic performances that are meant to focus the society on preservation of wild rivers in Poland.

I randomly won a free entrance to all movies on a film festival and spent every afternoon of it watching music documentaries.

I slept on a beach in Georgia.

I had rainbow hair.

I saw a sunrise over Alhambra in Granada.

I participated in a workshop where played a real concert on a stage in a bar, with a band of girls whom I met 4 days before, with our own songs and none of us was trained in music before. Seems impossible but it worked and there were 4 more bands like this!

I tend to find the most incredible tiny miracles whenever I travel.

I spontaneously made a trip to Berlin with one-way flight ticket and ended up staying there for nearly a month. I also found there one of my best friends currently.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'll be happy teach you some photography or take a good portait for you. Also can teach you some Polish, help you with your English (as I used to work as an English teacher) or cook an amazing meal. :D

When in Kraków - hey, I worked in a tourism company, so I can provide you with a lot of tips and recommendations! I'm a great listener and I'm curious about every human being I meet.
