About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm a little shy but I really like people.

Find yourself
Be useful and patient for friends. If they need it, be their 'parachute'.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have hosted people for years. And I have awesome experiences with those people.
Last year, I and Karol, my partner, were in Belgium and in the first time in our live, we were guests, not hosts. And our host was great... I have to learn from him about good, real hospitality...:)
I like people, but not always have oportunity to spent time with. But still, we try to be the best we can. We cook dinner, if our guests want to try vegan food, we can be your guid in our beautiful city... We can tell you where you can find good restaurant, non typical touristics places or another CS people (in Kraków there are a lot CS guests).

Interests

I like to watch people, the way they function, they speak, how they chat with others
I am vegan, I cannot eat to much sugar (insulin resistance), and I am on diet. So it is easer to feed my cat than me ;)
I love walking and hiking! Especialy in polish mountains 'Bieszczady'
I cannot imagine life without nature
I like learn new things, improve my languages, maditate and self-improvement.
I think that human rights are very important, includes LGBTQ human rights! I am a member of one of polish LGBTQ organisation.
I love art, it is pleasure to admire art in museums. I am trying to draw, but I am better at writting. I like outdoors watercolor painting and drawing.
I like clubbing and dancing. In Poland I am trying to contemporary dance. But I am better in salsa or zumba (if you can said that zumba is a dance).
