CURRENT MISSION
to make other people happier :)
ABOUT ME
I'm currently studying in Paris (or rather in suburbs of Paris) - pretty close to Versailles. It's a good change from buzzing London though one thing for sure, I have itchy feet so I travel a lot, whenever I'm not busy with crazy amount of projects, group work and assignments to hand in ;)
I used to be pretty crazy teenager... my parents thought that it would not last long... they're wrong...
Now, I'm not a teenager any longer. However, I am still young at my heart, and I do crazy things from time to time.
I love:
- spontaneous decisions;
- being brave;
- experiencing unknown;
- meeting new people, and challenging their viewpoints;
- seeing new places and discovering about new cultures;
- movies - though, pretty traditional on this ground - Jarmusch, Lynch and Almodovar to name a few directors :) - though, during high school I skipped 2 weeks of classes to attend film festival - it was definitely worth doing ;p
- hitchhiking;
- solving problems and co-operation.
I dislike:
- time wasters;
- people not sure about their preferences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
As of now - I am based in Paris and I can host for a while. I do not have a big room as I live on campus... only air bad so hosting might be a little bit of trouble.
Otherwise, I am one of those people who think that happy personality can achieve far more than the best talent ;)
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
- Spent New Year's Eve at the rooftop in Bangkok (completely unplanned)
- Got to swim in Infinity Pool at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore - again, happy go lucky
- Played football with children from an orphanage on Sunday afternoon in Phonm Penh, Cambodia
- Volunteered in the biggest slum in Mumbai to get Tamil workers educated on HIV/AIDS and safe sex (being Caucasian woman was not too helpful at that occasion)
- Shared Chili Crab with a backpacker met in Singapore
- hitchhiked most of Poland as a teenager
- went for Belorussian rock festival = had to shower in lake for 3 nights - but back then I was 16 and my expectations of comfort were very low
