About Me

ABOUT ME

I graduated from journalism and drama studies at Jagiellonian University, and since August 2011 I used to work at the biggest newspaper in our country - Wyborcza, it is like The Times in Great Britain :) Then I spent almost one year in Madeira working as a tourist guide. Now I live in Warsaw and work in Carlson Wagonlit Travel, so my professional and private life is cycling around travelling ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

With such websites (hospitalityclub.org, place2stay) I visited a few big cities in Europe like Paris, Milan, Amsterdam. The most interesting story is related to my visit in Amsterdam. I was Erasmus student in Netherlands, I studied at Radboud University located in Nijmegen, so in south of the country. One weekend I and my friend went to Amsterdam. We stayed in house near Rijskmuseum. There were many pieces of art, on stairs were lying books and albums about art. Our host was a really nice, elderly fan of the art, manager of foundation. Very intriguing...

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite writer is Elfriede Jelinek, from Austria. I especially like her dramas for language which is very 'musical'.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have done EVS on Madeira, which is a great destination :) - 10 months on the island on the ocean :).
I have spent one semester at the last year of my studies in Netherlands (Radboud University in Nijmegen). I have met many interesting people from whole Europe and world (Indonesia, India, China, USA). I realised that I enjoyed being in such international environment. I really miss these times... I hope it happens again... That is why when I am able to do it - I pack my bag, book cheap flight and go for a weekend abroad.
