Hi! My name is Beata, I’m a warm-hearted and open-minded woman from Poland living already 20 years in the Netherlands. I love meeting new people, discovering different cultures, and sharing stories while having a good cup of coffee or tea.

Family is very important to me, and I truly enjoy creating a cozy and welcoming atmosphere at home. I’m respectful, calm, and tidy, and I value honest communication. I believe that traveling is not only about places, but about people — the connections you make and the memories you create together.

In my free time I enjoy cooking, walking, reading, and learning about other traditions and lifestyles. I’m curious about the world and always happy to exchange experiences, whether it’s about daily life, culture, or simple moments that make life beautiful.

As a guest, I am clean, considerate, and grateful for hospitality. As a host, I aim to make people feel comfortable and at home.

Looking forward to meaningful conversations and cultural exchange!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy music that creates a good atmosphere — from classic songs to relaxing music and sometimes modern hits. Music makes every moment more special.

I like movies based on true stories, romantic films, and inspiring dramas that leave you thinking.

As for books, I enjoy stories about real life, personal growth, and sometimes light novels that help me relax in the evening.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moving to another country and building a life in the Netherlands for over 20 years while raising a family. Starting over in a new culture was not always easy, but I’m proud of the life I created.

Having the courage to step out of my comfort zone and explore the world, even after many years of routine. I believe it’s never too late for new adventures.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can cook and bake amazing Polish food! I love preparing traditional homemade dishes and sweet Polish desserts, and I’m happy to share my recipes.

I speak Dutch, but I would love to improve it even more through conversation and learn more English for my trips around the world. After 20 years in the Netherlands, I already know the culture well, but I’m always open to new adventures.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share delicious food, positive energy, kindness, and respectful company.
