Hello! My name is Ola I come from Poland and now it is my second year in the UK as a student. I am a super energetic, happy and spontaneous person loving any kind of sports activities and travelling. I love meeting new people no matter where they are from (actually I am so curious about cultures and other countries the more multi-culti the better ;) ). Apart from sport I love reading books, listening to music, crazy parties from one side but theatre, museums and jazz concerts from the other. As well I feel the best on the fresh air: forest, beach, sea... these are my favourite places to hang around. I was living in Gdańsk (Poland) for 19 years and then I moved to study first to Coventry (Oil , Gas and energy management) but after a year I decided to change for my dream course Marine technology in Newcastle. I am after the first year (hopefully without any resits ;) )

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

2 reasons!

No1
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE TRAVELLING!!! I want to travel all my life. Using coach surfing is a great way to find cheap accommodation but as well meet people all around the world who know their city best, knowing most interesting places and would be an amazing company to visit all of them.

No2
It is all about people. Everybody is so different, have different opinions, hobbies, the way of seeing the world... I think the more people you meet the more mature and wiser you get and this is what I am looking for. So many times it happened to me someone has spread his/her passion for something or got me super excited to visit places or dig deeper in a topic (for example, bouldering or getting to know more about combustion engines xdd). So as I mentioned before it happened a lot, I love it, and I want it to happen all my life sooo:

Why I'm on Couchsurfing ? - It is all about people :D .

I like music from 70, 80, 90ties as well as very new sounds. My favourite song is changing almost every week but I think Dire Straits are my love for life.
