About Me

I will probably never grow up. I am still as amazed by the world as I was when I was 5.
The day is always too short for me - there are so many exciting things to do! ;)

I love travelling by bicycle - it gives me time to enjoy the scenery and to think about stuff and it is always a good challenge when you have to climb some mountain passes :) And most of all I enjoy the freedom of being outside.

Currently dividing my time between Malta, Poland and bicycle touring in different places.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelling without meeting people and listening to their stories is not travelling. I also believe in good people and that sharing with others make you happy, even if you don't have much yourself.

I've got so many great experiences with CS as a guest and I hope to be able to pass it forward and make some good memories as a host too, when I finally get my own place :)

Interests

Running and cycling are my life. I love being outside, in the mountains, in the woods (there are always new paths to explore, even just around the corner!)

I am also interested in psychology and mental health. If you want me to start talking and never shut-up, ask me about ADHD.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I cycled alone from Switzerland to Bosnia and Herzegovina, actually not knowing where I'm going and for how long I'm going to travel.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am teaching languages sometimes, so if you'd like to learn a few words in some hipster languages such as Polish or Norwegian - I'd love to help.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If I stay long enough and have a few hours extra to spend, I can also make you pierogi - the most delicious polish dumplings!
