Hi! I'm Ola, I have joined Coachsurfing because my friend and I have won the interrail pass. That means we were traveling a lot last summer and were trying to find as many accommodations with local people as possible! :))

I study Biotechnology at the University of Warsaw. In my free time I develop my skills in playing the guitar and programming in Python. I

I am in fact a student, but I swear I am not stereotypical party animal. If you decide to host me, I will be extremely grateful and unobtrusive. Although, if you want to hang out and show me around, I am in! Evenings in bars after sightseeing marathons are one of the best things about travelling and a way to exchange our experiences.

Below is our schedule with cities, which we were sightseeing last year:

05.08-09.08 — Amsterdam (found the host, thank you Peter!)
09.08-10.08 — Hague
10.08-11.08 — Brussels
11.12-12.08 — Lyon
12.08-15.08 — Milan
15.08-19.08 — Venice
19.08-21.08 — Ljubljana (found the host, thank you Patrick!)
21.08-26.08 — Budapest

See you soon! (hopefully)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

You can't find a better tour guide than a local :)

Unfortunately, I don't host, because I live with my parents, and they don't agree to share their home to others :(

Interests

As I wrote, I'm a biotechnology student, so if your interests are in the same field, I can see us getting along! Also, my friends study cognitive science, law and managment.

• coffee
• roller skating
• biotechnology
• guitar playing

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Pixies, the Strokes, Arctic Monkeys, Franz Ferdinand, Rammstein.

Books: All the Dostoyevski's pieces, Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harrari, all the Camus work (especially the Fall and the Stranger), a Man who mistook his wife with a hat, Other minds (truly amazing books about a brain of an octopus.

Movies: I don't watch them often as I am much more of a theathre fan. Cheap spectacles for students are my thing lately. I always have my tickets bught to at least two shows in advance.

..... buuuut it was a movie category, so: Twelve Angry Man and Primal Fear are my favorites of all time! I also enjoyed Parasite and Blade Runner. As you can tell - a mix between psychological and futuristic movies :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visiting the Burj Khalifa top floor was the scariest,
Grand Canyon was the most breathtaking (I had a chance to fly above it in helicopter),
Aaah, I can't decide one, I need to brag about seeing wildlife throughout the jeep window on Safari in Kenya :~Pp

Teach, Learn, Share

When it comes to my skills, I could offer a solid help in math to your kid. I could also share some of my guitar skills but they would probably be more useful for beginners :). On the other hand, if you're more advanced than me, I would gladly learn together.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cooking together, a cleaning help and great conversations I believe :)

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, England, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Kenya, Netherlands, Slovenia, Spain, Thailand, United Arab Emirates, United States, Viet Nam
