About Me

Is there anything more annoying than writing about myself ? For sure we can find something but still I really hate doing that.

Well, basic info about me:

I come from Augustow, a town in northeast part of Poland but actually, I live in Warsaw where I studied Culture Studies - Visual Anthropology MA.

I love (yeah, i should underline this: LOVE) travels (especially hitchhiking), meet new people, listen to good music or watch a good movie. Actually, I'm strongly addicted to things that I've just mentioned ;).

What's more? I cannot imagine my life without a bike and good non-fiction literature. Some friends call me "gypsy" but don't worry, unfortunately, I can't tell fortune or play on accordion :( but I'm interested in gypsy culture and love to travel (have I mentioned that? ).

If we meet you will find out something more about me for sure :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have surfed a lot and hosted other surfers and I have only positive experiences.

I'm here to meet new people in the countries I'm traveling to and if possible find a roof over my head :)
