About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To really live, not pretend to live:)

ABOUT ME

I'm a PhD student in the field of demography and economics. Me and my husband live in a quiet flat with the view over the park (which looks magically at nights), it's about 20 min to Warsaw's centre.

I love travelling and talking to people, getting new experience and new perspectives:)

PHILOSOPHY

The process is more important than the effect.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed couch several times as well as hosted several couchsurfers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

By so far extremely good, I met so many great, interesting people! There are some of CS who I just can't forget (in a positive way) - they've enriched me with their words and stories.

Interests

Cooking - I love to just relax and spend some time preparing a dish and exploring new tastes (recently Japanese cuisne)

Swimming, running,

Japanese culture, caligraphy etc. I'm definetly not an expert, but I know a lot of funny and interesting facts about this amazing country:)

Just recently I bougth a new camera and started learning about photography.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books - I read a lot, both for fun as well as for scientific-fun reason;) Among my favourite writers there're Murakami, Dostoyevsky, Kapuscinski. And I love the book "Life of Pi" - beautiful!

Music - Sigur Ros, and albums of Jonsi (especially Go), Fredrika Stahl, Regina Spektor (both her English and Russian songs), Kamp!. I also like classical music, my most favourite pieces are Symphonic dances of Rachmaninoff, Satie's Gymnopedies and Schubert's Trout Quintet:)
I also like other kinds of music - everything that I find beautiful and appealing to me:)

I watch mostly TV series (I watch them online as I don't want to have a TV at home:)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sky jumping - I've done it once and now it feels like it really wasn't a real experience, but a dream:D

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to prepare some of the Polish dishes:)
