️ Every time you send me a request without reading my profile and finding the secret word, one baby dolphin dies We don't want that!

️When sending a request, please give me a legit reason to host you - everyone can be kind and nice, but tell me why you actually wanna get to know me. If that's for free accommodation only, then let's save both your and my time - please go directly to hostelworld.com, Airbnb or Booking.

Allora (as Italians say for 'well...') - I'm an open-minded and always smiling girl from Poland! In the last 5 years I've lived in 5 different countries and now I've landed in Basel, Switzerland.

I absolutely love latin dances - especially bachata and kizomba (salsa is fun too, but it's so exhausting haha!), Korean food (ok, let's be honest - food in general) snowboarding and traveling! ;) My favorite things in this world are stroopwafels melting on my cup of tea, pistachio ice cream, and Italian coffee.

My dream is to dance salsa in Cuba, samba in Brazil, and tango in Argentina, all with the locals obv!

I'm still in the process of figuring myself out, finding my place in the world, exploring my interests, asking myself what I want to do in life - it's always the case that whenever I meet someone from another culture, of another origin I see a totally different perspective. And I think that's what makes life worth living! To actually get out there, see the world, and challenge your view on many things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I signed up cause I thought it'd be fun. It' so much better! When I was travelling around Italy on my own I was using CS mostly - the amount of hospitality and warm-heartedness I received was crazy and totally overwhelming! :) Now I really wanna give back to the CS community so - come over people! :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing millions of sardines while diving in Moalboal, Cebu (together my CS host there!). It was like watching National Geographic in 10D - simply breathtaking!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can probably teach you some basic dance steps!

I'm not the best cook ever but I think I'm pretty cood at certain dishes - banana bread, potato & porre cream or chicken curry with a twist are my specials :) Happy to prepare sth for you!

I'd love to learn whatever you're willing to teach me! Whether it's some words in your language, juggling, or your best time-management hack :) However, I'd very much appreciate if you cooked sth from your country - food is always such a big part of the culture so please share it with me :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

My space, breakfast, time, talks, a bottle of wine, mug of cocoa, my positiveness, smile, Polish food, memories from travels and the best tips for around Basel :)
