CURRENT MISSION

Student, MA in Stained Glass Conservation

ABOUT ME

I'm very happy, open-minded person with lots of positive energy, ready to share it with others. Always smiling, eager to help. As you can easily guess I'm fond of travelling and meeting new people.

PHILOSOPHY

I enjoy my travels quiet and rather stagnant - I prefer staying and "growing" into one place until I understand it better - it's people, culture, streets and daily-life. Finding questions is as important as answering them, because only a deep observation can pose them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Although I have just created my CS account, I am a member of Hospitality Club since 2005. I had been a host and guest many times, never experiencing any problems:) I had hosted people both in Ireland (Galway) and Poland (Wrocław).

Interests

There's lots to tell... I love art in both practical and theoretical aspects. My regular days pass in my workshop. There I work on stained glass, throw some pottery on the wheel, cast some ceramic objects, make moulds, paint, draw... But I wouldn't be a CS member if I didn't love travelling and meeting the New. Ah, and would almost forget - SALSA, tango, bachata:)

Music, Movies, and Books

Love dancing, especially salsa, tango and bachata:) Currently reading "Dance with the Dragons" George R.R. Martin (unfortunately about to finish. Cannot wait for the next book of the "Song of Fire and Ice" series).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I will never forget the black sky covered with stars like diamonds in Santa Maria di Leuca. We we just sleeping on the stony beach, enjoying the monotonous sound of waves beating the rocks. Then something woke me up, and all scared opened my eyes and saw it. Diamonds in the sky...
