Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was a host once when I was living in Poland. Right now I'm able to host guests inTroyes. This year I would also like to "surf" and meet new friends.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing gives the opportunity to meet great people. I really enjoyed the time which I spent with my hosts and guests. What else I can add, it's just awesome ;)

Interests

ALL THAT JAZZ :)) I play the piano and i sing. I'll be glad if I'll meet a person who will go for a jazz concert with me :)
