Hello, hola, bonjour, cześć and ciao!
Languages are defo still in progress though :)
Call me Alex

Haven’t been here for a while but am finally back, ready to start sharing some things together with other travellers and hosts. Never enough of travels... and time. Or money? But no excuses, right?! I basically do my trips alone, mostly city breaks for now, around the UK where I live and overseas, though am always happy to meet people on the way.
*not accepting guests at the moment but hope again in the future after I move places*

To give you an idea, I’m originally Polish but something brought me to London over wooo 6 years ago now, and I’m trying to figure out lots of things. And still discovering a big London which is my second home now, the city that I love (love and hate relationship forever!). If you’re ever here, definitely hit me up! I’m always happy to meet, grab a coffee and walk around London (remember we hate slow walkers), show you capital and all that. Afternoon tea 🫖 or cosy food/drink spots too. I like to think I know plenty of good spots and became a Londoner at heart!! :)

I’m super easy-going, "down to earth" they say and full of positive energy which I have no idea where comes from. Cheerful and smiley, mostly, and blunt! I love sharing my energy with people, though I’m introverted I get along with others very easily and like socialising. I promise I talk a lot, so always better if you like a good chat :)
Spontaneous plans are the best ones, I believe.
And kindness together with a respect🦋

I’m open-minded and open to try new things, food and everything.
Oh and with lots of love for animals. Crazy about the dogs... the one in the pics is mine but he lives in Poland. Amazing if you have any🤍

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe sharing experiences is valuable, and travels with meeting people while traveling is one of the best way to get close and then even meet friends for life. World is small, really. Also, I would love to get a chance to show you some of my favorite spots in London. And the other way around.

Interests

I love music the most, as well have a big interest in fashion.
I play saxophone, I like art, visiting galleries and museums, huge libraries too. Old towns and old cities are as great as “cute small streets” which just get my heart.
I like nature, discovering new and hidden places:)
I also live for an art. I get inspired by pretty much everything what’s pleasant for my eye around me. Inspiration and enjoying life are important!

I like theatre and books, as well as movies. Crime and thrillers and everything what stuck in my head afterwards. I write some poetry, I'm a bit old-fashioned. Love vintage.
But I enjoy parties every now and then and good jazz bars... balance is a must.

I also like yoga, good food, cooking (but more baking!) and have a weakness for sweets.
Wine and martini 🍸 and coffee.
Though such a big tea drinker🍵

Best chats, exploring places together, sharing a glass of wine or cocktails.
