Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Whenever I am in Lodz I can guide you all over the city. I am so thankful for people that have host me before and I thank people I have hosted during my exchange for giving me the opportunity to travel ;)
I love exploring new places and meeting new people. Its not only a way to travel and visit places but maybe the best opportunity to know myself better.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

During my Erasmus exchange I have been hosted and I have hosted others many, many times.
In Lodz, I have been a member of ESN EYE at TUL where I was guiding foreign students all over the city, showing them post industrial culture and it's heritage.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent one summer holidays ( 2013) as a volunteer worker discovering the historical heritage of amazing South Provence Region in France and thanks to training of professionals in stonework and restoration we managed to protect 12th c. chapel.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to illustrate and draw. One of my fav things to do is pencil drawing and sketching. Almost all of my notebooks are full of my unfinished sketches. I am also able to use watercolors and oil to start painting :)

But of course I am eager to learn new things from you!;D
