About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ups.

ABOUT ME

I am a PhD student in the field of cultural anthropology. I live in Cracow, where I was born over 30 years ago.
Owner of two dogs, although since I was a little girl, I wanted to have a cat; also skier, swimmer, dancer, singer and sleeper - unfortunatelly I'm not able to do all these things in the same time.
clumsy windbag, social maniac, losted traveller, stupid smoker. Rather optimistic.

p.s. Don't follow the "last login" section, looking where I am. It is mostly inaccurate in my case - settles me down in Wloclavek or Warsaw while I'm just sitting in my bed in Cracow. :)

PHILOSOPHY

Be thou erect, or be made erect.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting new people, sharing my experiences and getting know fascinating stories. I think that we are all learning from each other about life, about culture, about being a human. I would like to learn it all!

Interests

oh, it really depends on the weather: during spring/summer (warm and sunny) I'm watching football, during winter (cold and snowy) there is a lot of ski-jumping in TV.
what I'm really interested in is the secret of double bass beauty and the reason why cold pineapple juice is so expensive in clubs.
occasionally reading, watching movies, cooking (miserable), breathing and so on.
