CURRENT MISSION

learn to experience love and joy every single minute

ABOUT ME

I'm open-minded, creative and with a twisted sense of humour. I enjoy travelling, love the world and try to respect nature as much as I can. I teach English and translation at Krosno State College and sing in a Baroque chamber choir in Kraków. Some friends call me 'Spinning Chaos' and well... they're quite right ;) You shouldn't be around when I cook, but I'm sure you'll enjoy the meal :)

PHILOSOPHY

Good Karma rules!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm renting a small flat with my boyfriend and there isn't much space for anything, so we can only accomodate up to three people (one double bed and a mattrace on the floor). The standard is not high but the flat is the expression on who we are - it's warm, welcoming, very colourful... and a bit messy ;)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have never tried coachsurfing before but I am very excited at the prospect! I think every place on the planet is worth a visit and I hope I'll be able to see as much as possible and travel until I'm very, very old.
