ABOUT ME

In few words... my name is Zofia, I was born in Lublin in Poland but now I live in Dubai.
I love to explore the world - visit new destinations, meet fascinating people, try amazing food, and I strongly believe that the earth is a place of beautiful diversity. I was lucky enough to find a job that enables me to travel a lot in my day-to-day life and it makes me a happy person!

If you would like to follow my trips, I'm also writting a blog (well, it's in polish, but you can always have a look at the pictures.. or use google translator;): http://swiatzofii-podroze.blogspot.ae/

PHILOSOPHY

Still searching... I just want to follow the voice of my heart, live my life and collect positive emotions.

“To move, to breathe, to fly, to float, To gain all while you give, To roam the roads of lands remote, To travel is to live.” H. Ch. Andersen

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

All my couchsurfing experiences where amazing so far, and I'm still keeping in touch with some of my hosts/guests. I used to host in Cracow and Lublin - it made me meet interesting people and feel like travelling without even leaving the city:) Now unfortunately I can't host as I live in the accomodation provided by my company. Ocasionally I use CS during my travels. It's a great opportunity to visit places from local point of view.

Music, Movies, and Books

Well.. there were too many of them to make a list. I love many different kinds of music, optimistic sounds, rock, jazz, funk, folk, basically everything depends on my mood in the specific moment. Some of artists that I love: Bob Marley, Jack Johnson, Jamiroquai, Manu Chao, Habib Koite, Gramatik and many others.

Books - I particularly like to read reportage books, that make me curious of new places. Among my favourite authors are: Ryszard Kapuściński, Oriana Fallaci, Tiziano Terzani, Orhan Pamuk, Mario Vargas LLosa, Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

I like so many movies that it's very difficult to mention just few of them. I love action movies with an interesting plot, but also impressionistic movies where more important than a plot are images (Caramel, Almodovar's filmography). I love documentaries!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hmm.. it's gonna be much more than just one thing...
* night among sands of moroccan desert,
* spending night on the steps of ancient amphitheater in Turkey,
* sitting in the flight deck of the plane once flying over the North Pole,
* falling in love,
* grape picking in France with its never-ending flow of wine,
* Erasmus experience in Sardinia,
* driving the car from 1960s in Cuba
...and many many more...
