About Me

ABOUT ME

27 but not very interested in boring adult stuff. I love travelling (so cliche I know), I guess I'm a free spirit and being on the road is just the best feeling ever for me. I spent lovely Erasmus year in France, then lived in Scotland for a while but really can't wait for new adventures to come. Now I live in Warsaw with my boyfriend and I love it, definitely enjoying this city very much :)

PHILOSOPHY

"Because in the end, you won't remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing your lawn. Climb that goddamn mountain" - Jack Kerouac

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

stayed with lots of people in Europe when I was travelling and it was sweet! Even have made friends for life. and my first CS experience at the Cote d'Azur was delightful, couldn't have been better.

CS in Paris, London, Brussels, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Vienna.. to be continued.

Interests

I can't imagine my life without cinema, I just love watching these depressing arty movies for hours, such fun! on the other hand during summer there's nothing better than music festival and chilling with friends in the nature. and one more thing - I'm really obsessed with going to Australia one day but firstly I need to get rich (and I hope it's gonna be pretty soon or I'll be really pissed off!)

i love old buildings, vinyls, bikes, retro cinemas, black&white photography, jukeboxes etc. I guess I'm a vintage type of girl ;)
