About Me

21 / Student & Marketer

Polish and American, living in Madrid

I speak Portuguese too. 😊

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet others in new cities, I’m very much into startups so meeting any entrepreneurs in any country would be valuable to me as well. My 2nd solo travel trip is when I tried out couch surfing for 5 days in Berlin and really loved the experience. Would love to continue meeting unique individuals with cool memories to discuss. :)
