CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy every day of my life.

ABOUT ME

My instagram: @olawasthere if you want to see my photography

I'm an easy-going, optimistic, trustworthy and imaginative person :)

I'm very active and can't stay in one place for more than a while.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started my Couchsurfing adventure because I think this is the best way you can travel.
I'm interested in places that not every tourist can visit. I want to meet real people, get to know their stories, life, and everything they love about the place they live in.

Interests

My biggest love in life is art.

I work as a photographer and I enjoy it so much! I'm really happy to be able to do what I love for a living. I used to be a pole dance instructor before I moved to Iceland and I miss those days a little because I love the feeling of flying and spinning in the air either on the pole or on the silks. I love trying new things, exploring new places and learning about new cultures and languages :)

I spent 10 years of my life studying music. I was playing the piano, the harpsichord, the organ and jazz piano.

And last but not least - FOOD
I love eating as well as preparing food.
I am a vegetarian who can't live without baking cakes :D

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC

Classic (Chopin is my biggest love), Jazz, Leifur James, Buena Vista Social Club, Jefferson Airplane, Tame Impala, and a lot more. I'm really open when it comes to music. I love dancing to disco songs with my best friend, cry over nostalgic playlists or enjoy old hits while being on the road. Do you have your favorite song? I'd love to hear it! :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did a car trip with my friend from Poland to Barcelona through the Czech Republic, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Monaco, French Riviera, and Andora.

I hitchhiked from Poland to Croatia through Czech Republic, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, and Slovenia.

I became a geothermal rye bread baker in a small Icelandic village

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you photography, unpronounceable words in Polish and Icelandic, if we'll have a chance I can also teach you how to dance on the pole and aerial silks or how to play piano ;)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can photograph you, your pet, your house or whatever you need. I can also share stories about life in Iceland and my travels while cooking some vegetarian dinner ^_^
