About Me

I'm very open, colourful and friendly person, I like meeting people from all around the world. This can bring me a new perspective, new understanding.

I was studying urban planning in Cottbus, Germany, and I LOVE traveling. I have always been interested to the social work and voluntary service.

Since few months I'm working in Poznań, where I moved back after 7 (!!) years in Germany :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In every city people I've met on CS were totally friendly and helpful. I love this kind of traveling when you not only do the typical touristic tours but also hear from the locals how the city is and where are the most interesting (not only the most famous) places to visit. And when somebody has also time to show you the city or go to the pub together this is the best thing ever!

Interests

Traveling (every year I want to see new places!), reading lot of books, volunteering, working with disabled children, going to the theater

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

At first, when I was 18:
I've worked in Ireland for 2 months, and that was more than only travelling. I understood better the culture and situation in Ireland.

Later, with 23 years old:
With my boyfriend (now husband) Marcin we have travelled in Norway, Iceland, Ireland, Switzerland, Italy and more... we took a half year break in studying and tried workaway, which was amazing!
Can you imagine taking care of sheep, which are giving birth? That was on the norwegian farm, with the family with 4 kids.
In Iceland we took care of the chicken house, our host family had also about 80 (!) horses... Perfect, perfect time. Recommend you workaway!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer my whole colourful personality and smile. When someone have time to show me the city I'll be the happiest person, because I love cities and in every country or region cities have another problems and I'd love to try to understand them and learn how to solve them.
So I can explain you many interesting urban things and explore your city in a bit different way
