Hi! My name is Simona, I'm 24 years old, have shared my life with a twin sister (and a younger one). We are half- Australian and half Polish, and due to our parents' love of travel, we have visited a lot of the world, particularly Europe as we were growing up. I am a lover of life - especially the unique, often spontaneous experiences that come from real travel and connection with fellow humans. I am a laid-back person and socially and environmentally conscious - I am at most in my element when I can have real and deep conversations about life and all it encompasses. When I'm at home, I am studying to become a doctor, as I've always been drawn to the complexity of the human body, and the ability to heal it when there's a dysfunction. Apart from this career part, I love making life as colourful and wild as possible. I spend my time creating colourful and unique meals, reading books, drinking wine and conversing and learning from people around me as well as kundalini yoga & meditation, op-shopping, starting the day with a coffee in the morning...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have decided to try Couch Surfing because I think it's a great way to build your community around the world. My family ties in Poland have brought me to Europe for a few months and I figured this would be a perfect time to experiment the couch surfing community. Sharing lives and experiences do not come so easily in the hostel/hotel experience.
