Hi there! I'm Paulina, a 24-year-old scientist from Poland. I finished my master's in materials chemistry and now work at a solar cell company. I'm a big science nerd, especially into physics (sustainable energy sources especially!) and astronomy!
A friend once said I'm "like water - calm, but never stops," - i think it fits quite well :)))

Besides science, I'm an artsy soul with passion of photography and poetry at the moment, but literally of everything! Cmon, good pottery/jewlery making sesh? Music jam? Count me in! (ukulele only, hope to learn piano someday!(
I love balancing brainy stuff with physical activities, so you'll often find me climbing, dancing, or surfing (even though surfing clearly doesn't love me back).

As a queer neurodiverse woman in science, I'm passionate about supporting minorities and engage in activist work for a more inclusive environment.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here on Couchsurfing to explore the world on a budget of young scientist starting career and to immerse myself more deeply in the communities I visit.
I believe Couchsurfing offers a unique opportunity to connect with locals and experience places from a genuine perspective!

Not only knowledge! A good cup of coffee!
