Hey there !
My name is Monika. I come from Poland (the country of vodka and potatos :)
I am 24. The very first significant thing: I am extremely addicted to travel( by bus, car, bicycle, traktor, train and don’t like plane much)
I have done a lot of hitchhiking expeditions. I am big fun of sport and can’t live without coffee !
I have been studying in Romania, Turkey, South Korea and have done internship in Greece, Thailand and Egypt.
Currently, I am working on the cruise ship and travelling the world so is quite difficult to find me on the land :( At this moment I am not able to host but I am always in to meet up or whenever you need any tips about Poland, hitchhiking or anything !
I am adventurous spirit who loves challenges , "crossing border" and making impossible possible.
I have visited 46 countries so far. I like experience the world as a traveler and local rather than tourist.
Meeting new people, places give me super extra energy and motivation to life. During journey I discover what's the sense of my life. I feel fulifillemt. I try to draw inspiration from every person.
I love meeting people with their own passion and courage to live.
One important rule of my trips : I do not travel just for beautiful views and awesome destinations, I look for something more,wanna meet people and understand different culture. see more.
The more I have seen and experienced the more I am :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on coachsurfing because as I said I love to meet wonderful people, culture, tradition. I travel by low-budget cost. Coachsurfing is the great way to meet such a amazing people. Discover places with local people is so much fun and gives me a lot of satisfaction. I can understand more culture and mentality of citizens. Defenitely tourism group tours are not for me. One of the essential part of my travel are people which create my memories not just place !
