About Me

CURRENT MISSION

- experience what's the best in life
- balance both social life, studying and traveling
- meet amazing people, learn from them and share what i can

ABOUT ME

I'm cheerful, honest and talkative person. I love meeting new people, visiting new places and gaining experience in every possible aspect of life.
Right now I'm studying Finance and Accounting in Poland in a beautiful city Sopot. If you ever happen to be in Tricity (that's how we call the three cities placed next to each other : Gdynia, Sopot, Gdańsk next to the Baltic See) let me know, I will gladly show you around.

Right now I am traveling with my boyfriend which I infected with a passion to travel. He doesn't have a CS account but I can share his FB account in private message and all information that are needed.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I took parts in CS meeting, also helped in Erasmus programs focused on helping students abroad adapt to living in Poland. I joined Each One Teach One Tandem program - language exchange and had a lot of fun with it. I was also Au pair in Spain and took care of two boys, where I had opportunities to visit a few cities.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was hosted in a few cities in Spain, because of the weekends trip i made while working as an au pair. It was a great experience and i wish one day i could also host people in my hometown in Poland. Unfortunately, right now I am living with my parents and I can't host anyone.

I'm struggling with my personal need of feeling safety - by getting a Masters Degree, finding a good job, with and unstoppable desire of travelling. it is not that easy to balance both at once, that is why I've decided to travel a bit while studying. It won't usually last more than few days, I have too many responsibilities in Poland to leave everything behind and live the biggest adventure of my lifetime...

...but who knows? Maybe one day I will?

Interests

I can't imagine my life without music, lately I've been really into todays music, starting from melodic, calming indie, going through electronica and finishing with some hard dubstep. I used to listen to some good old classic, also had a phase with a lot of '90 rock bands, just like Linkin Park or SOAD.
Honestly, right now my music is more to me like a way to chill and rest. I am so busy with life that I only have a moment to enjoy music while rushing things.

i love watching movies, unfortunately I do not always have time for them
- meeting friends I always find time for
- learning how to cook, not sure how I survived till now without this unnecessary knowledge
- I want to learn how swim, don't ask why I still don't know how to
- I really enjoy drawing and doing manual things, since I can remember

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- I haven't done or seen much yet, but I surely will! My first real, adventure was going to work as an pair in Spain and during that time I saw many beautiful villages and city, hitchhike to Valencia, took part in Bilbao's Semana Grande and spent 3 wonderful days in Sevilla, I also went to Barcelona where an angel happened to help us (I'm still really grateful for the concern and care, Miquel) when our host stood us up. My trip to Spain was a first time I've discovered how amazing is to travel. Consciously.

- I was working for two months in England with a friend. It is not much of a achievement but I am proud I managed to organize it myself

- I'm studying, having a social life, having a good-loving relationship and having a part-time job on weekends, and still want to travel. Balancing all of these things is my biggest achievement

- I've visited almost every interesting place in Poland, so if you need any recommendation, don't hesitate to ask :)

Teach, Learn, Share

- Teach some Polish, not only language but also some traditions or cuisine
