About Me

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This platform allow us not to be just tourists anymore. We can be TRAVELERS, living the life just like locals do.
+ the idea of exchange the culture. The hosts can never even leave their house, but the house will live the stories brought from all around the world by the people stayed in.

And honestly ? I do this to change everything I've got to know so far. I can't say I sit calmly in my comfort zone, but I am challenging myself to start the most important adventure of my life... Well, so far ;)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
For the voice and the compositions I adore - Asaf Avidan, the music of Yann Tiersen and Damien Rice is also something I love to come back to. Cesaria Evora-the goddess!! Gary Clark Jr., Sigur Ros, Bernhoft, Bonobo, Brodka, Smolik... Listening to Spanish guitar. And lately a bit of a crash over Trap and Garage music.

Film:
La Grande Bellezza, the Amelie, Léon, Django, with love to all his movies and the reason of directing my life into art Vicky Christina Barcelona... + yes! That's why I dream to visit this city!!
(I have a sentiment to Ocean's Eleven and Twelve - which the second is the precious one as it happens in Europe. )

Literature:
The Alchemist- and probably any other book or article Paulo Coelho has written. Love this man ! One Hundred Years of Solitude, Gabriel García Márquez. Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair, by Pablo Neruda.

Art:
I am really interested into modern art. The artists I'm following now would be mainly Minja Lee or Chiara Bautista, although my heart is taken by the artists from 20th Century- from Picasso, Cezanne, Monet to Gauguin and Kandinsky.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiking from Poland to Italy and back, with the other amazing friend traveller. Hard part was, that we've only had 1€ each to get out of Rome, over 2K km still to go... And what happened on the way, is the bunch of the weirdest and most fantastic stories we've ever lived on!
Thank you Kasia, for being a part of my adventure :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a Londoner but I was born in a small town in Poland - interested of practising your English or get to know some of the most complex languages of the world such as Polish ? I really, really want to learn Spanish. It's one of the big dreams of mine, so... My English/Polish for your Spanish ? Perfecto !! ;)

If you'd like to try eastern European cuisine , or try me in the battle of cooking something more western, I'm on it ! And.... Your dishes will be as clean as they have never been :) haha

I like sports, all kinds. I'm an outdoor animal ! I can't promise I will be great in the activity you could choose, but I'll make most of it ! Morning yoga, evening run- anything in the meantime! Let's fill these days with some new adventures ;)

The last, certainly not least, while meeting new people we share old crazy stories and experiences and create new ones. What happens when you hear about something that you've had no idea that exists ? It changes you. You become a richer of that beautiful moment person.

I sing, draw and write- a lot ! You can keep that in mind as an extra, while choosing your welcome/goodbye gift ;)
