Hi!
My name is Ivona. I like learning new things and exploring new places. I've finished psychology, but recently decided to follow my other passion which is music. So I opened a small business and started to live from music production. Super excite about this change in my life.
I am easy to handle, can be talkative, can be quiet it's up to you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think this is a really nice way of seeing places you visit from a perspective of a person who lives there. I am sure that you get deeper and better experience. And you get to meet interesting and new people!

Currently:
I am visiting Bergen in August, got a residency in a studio there but I didn't get an accommodation. One down side is that I will work for most of the day, but would love to hang in the evening and explore the city more.

(Can't seem to change column about the interests below. Everything is still true but I don't work on that project anymore, I've finished it!)

Interests

My biggest passion is music but I'm into arts in general. In the future, I would like to combain my music with visual arts. I did lighting for concerts for some period and it was really interesting. I've learned how with proper lighting and visuals the whole experience gets to another lever. Now, I have a duo in which my friend raps and sings, and I make beats.
The second biggest thing is psychology. I like to work with youngsters. Recently I got a job and I am going to work on one project with UNICEF and I am really excite about that!
