About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Life shifting :-)

ABOUT ME

I dont't like talking about myself. A lot of things is more fascinating. You really should talk with my friends and ask them what kind of person I am:)I can only tell that i am totally fond of people, diffrent culters, new places and broadly i am optimistic about world.

By the way, at the moment I am moving from the city of Toruń to Poznań, along with my boyfriend, Wojtek and our cat, Amelia after 7 years.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy the life:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I will be able to host you in Poznan, Poland since August 2012. At the moment I am searching for couches in Amsterdam, Brussels and Paris:)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've heard a lot about the idea of CouchSurfing, but here I am new. Of course, I've shared flats and appartments with various, sometimes really crazy, people in Czech Republic, Russia, Ireland, Austria and Poland, so I am pretty good prepared to take part in this initiative.

Interests

Russian language, culture and literature, travelling, books, movies, people, new tastes, chocolate (especially Nutella) and cats.
