My name is Paulina, but you can call me Polina. I live in Poland. I'm a student at the University of Silesia. I'm a easy-going person who like spend time in active way, especially running, swimming, rollerblading, snowboarding. I’m also a huge fan of Volleyball.

My life motto is 'being present whatever I do'. No matter if it’s traveling, serving the customers, watching a movie, meeting with my friend, driving a car, snowboarding or cooking. Every action in my life deserves my full attention. Only in that way I feel fully alive.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just love travelling . The best part of every travel is meeting new people, exploring new places, trying new things and sharing that experiences with my loved ones and sometimes even random people.

Right now I'm participating in cultural exchange program called Camp America. I work anf have fun on the camp for kids in Virginia. People from all over the world are participating in that so I get to know better the australian, british, irish and south african culture but I feel that I still missing the real feeling of american one. We decided to travel across America after the program with my friend Kate. I'm joining couchsurfing right now and I will try it for the first time in America. I hope I will meet people who will show me american culture and we will have some fun together.

I think the best way to verified someone is facebook. So visit my profile and get to know me better. You can also follow my trip through America on the instagram @polina.travels

Music, Movies, and Books

Books - I'm studying Polish Studies like polish language and literature so I read pretty much every classic book in polish.

Personally I'm a huge fan of sci-fi and fantasy. I just love Terry Goodkind's saga The Sworth of Truth and Andrzej Sapkowski saga The Witcher.

Music - I enjoy almost every kind of music. I'm a huge fan of music and I try to go a concert every occasion I have. I especially like rock music and few pop artists like Coldplay or Maroon 5. You should definitely check out polish rockband called Jelonek. Violin combined with rock music - something beautiful.

Movies - I'm a fan of american TV series and movies. If I haven't seen it I'm pretty sure I heard about it.
