Overview
About Me
Raised in Wrocław, Poland, currently living in Amsterdam with my boyfriend, Michał. I took a gap year from biology studies in my hometown, because I needed a change.
I'm in love with biking culture of The Netherlands, I bike everywhere and with everything (especially with the big pieces of furniture :D). I try to live as sustainable as I can.
I'm calm, friendly, introvert person that really like meeting new people (I just also need some time on my own).
I work as a barista in specialty coffee cafe, I'm a coffee nerd, so if you want to talk/get to know about speciality/Third Wave coffee you are more than welcome!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To discover true spirit of a place and try local specialty coffee.
To not miss places and activities that locals love.
Because sleeping in a ho(s)tel is boring.

Music, Movies, and Books
I love indie, folk, indie rock, jazz, calm alternative music. I love getting lost on Spotify, discovering new but I'm also pretty fine with listening to Alt-J all the time. That is why I like to meet with new people - to get to know fresh and new music.
I've helped with organization of fantasy fan convetions in Poland, for example Pyrkon (the biggest one).
Big "The Game of Thrones" and "The Lord of the Rings" fan.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I have petted little, fluffy guanaco (Lama guanicoe)!
Teach, Learn, Share
I know quite a lot about houseplants and gardening, I used to have 30 green friends in my apartment in Poland and dozens of them on balcony. Now we try to grow food on our balcony too!
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can cook some delicious vegetarian/vegan meal for you with a home-made cookies or help you, if you have any problems with plants. We can do repotting or try to fight the insects together. I can also give you seedlings of basil, because I sowed too many! :D
Also, we can brew Aeropress (filter coffee), I always travel with my, grinder and bag of nice beans.
Of course, I'm fine with cleaning and doing the dishes.
