About Me

all about me? it's a really difficult question!

I think I'm an open person (at least I'd like to be one), I love: holidays, travelling, eating tomatoes, drinking wine on the beach on warm evenings, laughing out loud when I can't stop, specially with someone else...

I don't tolerate any form of discrimation, homophobia, racism or hate speech.

I'm a vegetarian, trying to go vegan.

in March 2017 I came to Canada on a working holiday visa to finally fulfill my dream! Right now I'm in Kelowna and I'm looking for a job, new friends and ways to explore the area

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

cause it's cool :) cause I can meet people from all over the world and through their stories and experiences visit the world even from my home :D

Interests

culture in the broadest sense, contemporary art, qualitative sociology, gender studies, queer studies, urban space at all its dimensions, design.. and many many more

I guess people are interesting :)

ah, and I play ultimate frisbee so if you wanna throw some discs around, I'm up for it :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I can tell you something about Poland, polish culture, polish language etc. I also also share some of my thoughts about the world :P I can teach you the basics of ultimate frisbee rules, and how to throw backhand and forehand :) I can cook a vegetarian dinner for you.

I'd love to learn something abour other cultures and countries - your traditions, habits... all the differences! but also find out what we all have in common, despite living in different places.
