I love painting and drawing, learning languages, animals ( I have a dog and a rabbit), traveling, reading, listening to music, spending time with my family and friends, and meeting new, fascinating people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To explore the world, make new friends and practice my language skills.

I would like to visit all European countries, but firstly I would probably go with Spain, Ireland and Netherlands (Amsterdam). I would love to visit basically the whole South America(maybe I would finally start speaking Spanish without mistakes), USA(New York and New Orleans the most), Japan, China, India, Egypt, Morocco and many, many other fascinating places. Keep your fingers crossed for me! :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to basically all types of music so both guitar sounds and electronic beats are welcome. I frequently listen to Oldies( 60's, 80's); Rock and DnB music when I am full of energy; chillout music, reggae when I want to relax; ambient when I am studying or working; latin music when I want to dance or motivate myself to study Spanish. I especially have a thing for female vocalists ( such as Florence and the Machine, Oh Land, Adele, Marina and the Diamonds, Zooey Deschanel, Joan Jett, Norah Jones, Kate Nash, PJ Harvey, Sia, Zaz and many many others).

Again, I like to watch many different kinds of movies, it depends of my mood. I like Almodovar's and Burton's movies, Disney animations, English heritage movies, old movies made around 1940-1970 (especially when they are starring classic movie stars), psychological thrillers, comedies and so on.

I am also a little bit addicted to TV series, currently my favorite ones include: The Walking Dead, Downton Abbey, Breaking Bad, New Girl, Game of Thrones, Big Bang Theory, Hannibal, Mad Men, Gran Hotel, Cuéntame como pasó... I could go on like this all night.

I studied English and American literature so I have many favourite British and American authors (Austen, Plath, Ishiguro, Hemingway, Atwood, Woolf, J.K. Rowling, Tolkien, Fitzgerald, Kerouac, Poe, King, Tennessee Williams, Pratchett, Zadie Smith, George R.R. Martin, McCarthy, Harper Lee, Faulkner), but it does not mean that I restrict my reading choices in any way. I also like Pielewin, Murakami, Kapuściński...there is no end to it :)
