Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COACHSURFING EXPERIENCE:
I haven't hosted anyone via coachsurfing yet, but I've had a lot of various people staying at my current and previous flats - from Netherlands, Belgium, Brazil, Russia and Germany, as well as from other Polish cities.

Interests

Discourse analysis, feminist theory, critical theory, cultural anthropology, contemporary sociology and philosophy, philosophy of language and religion, modern history, various music, cheesy cinema, general popculture stuff, mountain hiking and many other things.

Movies: 80s action/horror flicks, 70s exploitation movies and other entertaining things + some random art house movies

Teach, Learn, Share

I couldn't teach you many skills, since I don't possess them - I'm more theoretical than practical, so I could share a lot of information like lots of useless music and general popculture trivia, some political, social, cultural stuff etc. I could also teach you some Polish or share some information about Poland and places worth visiting here etc

What I Can Share with Hosts

I could bring some specific Polish groceries with me if you want to, except for alcohol, because customs officials nag about it

Countries I’ve Visited

Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Slovakia, United Kingdom

Countries I’ve Lived In

Poland
