UPDATE APRIL 2022 Currently I'm in Iceland and can't host anybody :( however always happy to hang out. COUCHSURFING MOTTO: “To wisely live your life, you don't need to know much Just remember two main rules for the beginning: You better starve, than eat whatever And better be alone, than with whoever.” Omar Khayyam CS is all about sharing, caring, and be together. I am also fine with being just your couch until you are kind and polite (or I simply don't have enough time for you), and I will be ok to be guest of your couch either ;) Nevertheless, RESPECT and some ATTENTION and real interest toward other person is required. CS IS NOT FREE ACCOMMODATION :) CURRENT MISSION Working hard to become a digital nomad! :) (And actually just wandering around the world trying to find my place... :P) ABOUT ME I'm a friendly and open-minded person, who tries to live her own life in the best way. I am crazy about running, mountains and languages, especially the Slavic ones. :) Staying in Straya few months strongly affected my English, but no worries Mate! We will find a way to communicate ;) I believe that we as humans are one big family and we can find a connection despite the differences in our cultures and lifestyles. Overall, we all want one thing: to love and be loved. :) Currently, I am a photography student in Warsaw and went for Erasmus exchange to Ankara. In Warsaw, I was also working as an account executive in video production. I love French comedies, music festivals (especially with alternative music - Woodstock Music Festival in Poland - now known as Pol'And'Rock ), photography and hitchhiking. I spent almost the whole of 2017 travelling in South-East Asia, Australia and New Zealand.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Sometimes I'm couchsurfer, sometimes I host people. All depends on my housing. In Warsaw, they are pretty average :P I can offer you only floor or half of my bed ;) As you can see in my references - I'm good at both :) I use Couchsurfing from 8 years and love the idea of sharing time with locals to enrich both - hosting and hosted :)
Music, Movies, and Books
Music of freedom :) From rock, ska, indie, reggae, rap... All good music things! I love music from all over the world as it does not have any boundaries. Recently listened to Mongolian, Serbian, Romanian and Bulgarian... hip-hop :D Love the mixture of traditional folk music with the modern one. If you know something like this from your country - please let me know! Absolutely huge fan of the Witcher books!
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Just one? I have already done many! The biggest adventure happened quite recently - in September 2020 I hiked the highest mountains in Bulgaria - done Bulgarian part of E4 route. My love for long-distance trekking started 3 years ago (2017) when I decided to hike whole Bulgaria in 3 weeks. It was an amazing trek through the beautiful Balkan Mountains (Stara Planina range). Done few bungee jumps, e.g. on Woodstock Festival Poland! :D Hopefully soon I will add here paragliding :)
Teach, Learn, Share
I can tell you something about Poland and now about Bulgaria as well :) teach you the basics of Polish and Bulgarian. If you want to improve your photo skills - my pleasure.
What I Can Share With Hosts
Small souvenir, a lot of positive energy, nice conversation till morning or piece of silent - I am flexible :)
My Interests
I love to discover new cultures - tradition, cuisine, national dances, music and languages. Currently, I'm fascinated by Bulgarian and Balkan culture. My phone is full of travel books, handbooks, Dan Brown novels and photos which I upload to my Instagram. Don't worry, I am not this crazy annoying person who is posting all the time on SM instead of living :P I'm also a blogger and photographer. The best way of chilling for me is to go to the mountains or do training. I love to do sightseeing through running. Always ready to wake up for sunrise photoshoot. Or to at least catch the sunset light on the nearest hill.
