Hi there, traveller!

I am from Warsaw, Poland’s capital city, but used to live in Krakow (second biggest and first most beautiful city in this country) for almost 6 years and I love it very dearly.

Currently seasonally living in Tuscany, Italy 🇮🇹😍
Making my dream come true

i am a 7, a libra, and an INFJ-T type - it may tell you a lot already, and if not, I am always happy to elaborate 😄

Since I joined the Couchsurfing community i have met so many amazing, kind people, fellow traveller spirits, and I can’t wait to expand that network!
Since I am becoming less and less active on social media on a daily basis, but you’re visiting Warsaw, or Tuscany, or perhaps you’re travelling in the same town as me, to hang out or get some recommendations, you can also reach me via instagram: @karcia.ch :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel in the “eat pray love” style :)
I am curious about people, about the world, about life, I love the diversity, and believe there is no better way to experience this life to the fullest, to leave your comfort zone, expand your horizons & learn something new, than travelling.

Interests

cooking, reading, or taking a nap in the middle of the day, it depends on my mood and the level of productivity 😅
Dolce far niente, pura vida - these are the “ideologies” I want to follow in life.
I am learning to knit and crochet too, I love crafty stuff and one of my goals is being able to knit my own cosy sweaters someday!
(Currently learning to make a winter hat. Hope to finish the project before winter ends 🤡 )

I have also always been enthusiastic about linguistics and hope to someday master at least 5 foreign languages - next on my list are portuguese and french :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

My cooking and baking skills, grandma’s recipes (i don’t gatekeep!), deepest existential discussions, I can also do your birth chart and tell you a bit about why astrology used to be a real science before christianity infantilised it into superstitions and witchcraft, and how it has nothing to do with well known horoscopes you see everywhere, nor with justifying bad behaviour with mercury retrograde 😂😇
