About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be good volonteer in Mullsjö Folkhögskola, enter the university next fall and have a lot of fun with nice people around

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Częstochowa, middle size city in Poland. My parents are still living there.

When I was 18 I moved to Warsaw to start studies at Warsaw School of Economics. I'm BA in economics and starting master studies next fall.

I'm living in Mullsjo, Sweden and working as a EVS-volunteer in Mullsjo Folkhogskola. My responsibility is first of all to share experience and show the students my culture and organise free time activities for them. Volunteers are also taking care of the school's fair trade shop. I'm having a great time in Mullsjo, meeting new friends, enjoing beautiful swedish landscape and studing Swedish.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm interested both in hosting and beeing hosted. If I have guests I'm trying to show them the surroundings and spend some time together.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new in CS. Till now I hosted only pople I knew before. I'm open to new aquantances, to meet nice, open-minded people who I can share experience with and learn each other about our cultures. I've used the first time CS during my travell to Lund-Copenhagen in June 2010 and I am sure I want to do it again!

Interests

My interests are wide, since there're so many interesting things around.

I sing in a choir and love dancing, especially salsa. I enjoy reading and watching movies in old cinemas where almost nobody else go anymore. I like also sports, especially cycling and swimming.
