Hi! My name is Zuza, I'm Polish, but currently living in Taiwan, where I'm studying Chinese. I'm full of energy and adventurous always looking for opportunities to travel. I'm a very active, positive and outgoing person. Always when traveling I love making new friends and learn from people about their culture, cuisine and the place I'm currently at. I love exploring, making unforgettable memories and of course, taking stunning pictures, so the memories last longer ;) I'm open-minded and always striving to learn more and more from my experiences and everything that's around me. When I'm traveling I always try to travel like a local and also see not touristic places.
If you would like to see pictures of my life adventures on Instagram @zuzasuchcicka. I also started making travel videos to document my travels, you can find them on Youtube: Zuza Suchcicka.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet people from the places I travel to, learn about their lives there, see the reality. Learn their culture, way of living. I'm also able to show them my culture, so it's a perfect exchange. Couchsurfing is an awesome opportunity to meet new people and make new friends. I used Couchsurfing a couple of times when I was traveling with my best friend in America and fell in love with the idea. That's why I decided to create a profile as I would like to continue meeting locals and make friends all around the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was a professional swimmer and windsurfer. I was competing in international championships in Germany, Austria, France, Czech Republic. I was a member of the Polish National Team in Windsurfing and I was representing my country at the World Championship in France when I was 14 years old and many other ideas.
I have been twice to the USA where I was working as a camp counselor, after it, I was able to travel a little and I made many unforgettable memories and collected some crazy stories.
I moved out to England alone in order to pursue my BA degree, which also included moving out to the opposite side of the world, Taiwan.
