Hello!
I'm a graphic designer, outdoors enthusiast, amateur foodie, dog, and cat person.
I love traveling to new and old places, exploring the world with my boyfriend, being outside, leaving behind my comfort zone.

I enjoy insightful conversations; I'm always amazed by how different people are and how many opinions and lifestyles this world holds. And it's even more amazing how much in common we all have.

Graphic design is a big part of my life - its a job and a passion at the same time. You can see some of my works at my online portfolio https://igakopiec.design/

**currently traveling in Japan**
**next: Thailand**

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To get a sneak peek into locals' life. To see how other people live, to exchange experiences and opinions.
