About Me

I'm a genius, I'm clever, young, beautiful, brave, witty, widely talented and the best in everything... at least that's what my Mom says.

I was born, raised and even a bit educated in Cracow. At some point of my life I felt an urge to change everything and so I did. I gave up on everything, didn't buy a return ticket and moved to a small town in Germany for eight months. But after some time I started missing big city flair and in July '15 I came back to Vienna, where I
spent the next 3 years. :) I've studied and done many ridiculous jobs since than, I worked as a hostel receptionist, baby sitter, office help, ticket machine assistant, hostess at a tank station, train stewardess... etc.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As long as I lived in Krakow I hosted some people, but now things got a bit more tricky. I live in a flat with 5 other students and they're not really happy about other people staying in my room, cause the flat is just to small for that. But if you're a one person staying 1-2 nights, please write me and I'll try to figure it out. :)
Currently I'm mostly surfing other people's couches and going to the meetings.

Although I don't keep in touch with all of my previous hosts and surfers, I cherish all of those memories. Every one of them teached me a precious lesson and showed me a new perspective. My life and world view definitely wouldn't be the same without Couchsurfing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent 36 hours in the forest by myself, with a knife, cup and a blanket. It was a lifechanging experience- to get to be so close with the nature and realise how powerless and weak we are without any goods of the modern world.

I started hitchhiking and totally fell in love with this mean of transportation. Not because is free, but just cause you get too meet so many random people, hear from them about their lives, travels, secrets. You realise how many helpful, kind and intesting people walk among us. Plus it's so unexpectable, exciting and sometimes awkward or even a bit scary! Brilliant combination.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm eager to learn anything and experience whatever unfamiliar.

I'd be happy to practice my German or English (being intoxicated enough I'm really good in Denglisch, although it happens manchmal when I'm sober). A few months ago I started learning Italian.

I like cooking with and for other people,

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share a secret recipe for The Onion Rice.
