About Me

Hey! I'm a young English teacher from Warsaw. I'm a big fan of traveling. I love to deal with new cultures, meeting new people. I particularly like going to English- and Russian-speaking countries, cause I like to follow my languages. I love encountering people from diferrent language backgrounds, compare different ways they speak, learn new stuff. The feeling of being (at least partially) grounded in some other culture than my own, being able to see the world from a different perspective always gives me a huge drive.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to travel and meet new people. Hostels don't give you that opportunity. Obviously, I can offer some accomodation in Warsaw, in case anyone was interested.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like scandinavian electronica (the Knife and stuff) modern Jazz (est) and piano (Olafur Arnalds, Nils Frahm and others). Katy Perry and Rihanna are good too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In college I spent two weeks in a smalltown called Smolensk in Western Russia, which I think was the absolute highlight of my studies. I have also been to Crimea, which I consider a big deal.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you're not native speakers of these languages, I can share my unique knowledge about English and Russian :) Concerning the second one I can boast some experience and skills when it comes to teaching. I also know a lot about my home city - Warsaw, so I can be your guide or tell you a story (I've noticed that whenever I go abroad I keep talking about Warsaw, which might be annoying, so feel free to let me know in case I got very boring :)).

What I Can Share with Hosts

My enthusiasm - when I travel I usually feel very positive :).
