CURRENT MISSION

Try to be in the world as much as I can.

ABOUT ME

I was on my way for a one year project in Moldova when life did it's usual thing and put a wrench in my plans. But it's all good, I am back to my uni city where I've met the coolest people on earth and learned all about culture and art:) So, I am excited about my new/old whereabouts and looking forward to sharing my positive feelings about Lublin with CS crowd:)

PHILOSOPHY

Be open to what world and people have to offer, embrace the unexpected and cherish all the little (and big) things that turns you on, whatever they may be.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Whenever I have a chance I host and whenever I travel I try to crush a couch:) just to further my traveling experience and meet people who tend to travel more fully:)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All are good:) - that used to be true but then I've met one asshole who was a stuck up, posh Londoner who almost destroyed my view of CS experience but I won't let one douche do that:)

Interests

Comics, culture studies, culture antropology, feminism, literature (me and my friends have started our own little book club), cinema (I did film studies as my major), traveling, dance in all it's forms and manifestation (I am working for the Centre for Culture in Lublin, where I organise amongst other things: the International Dance Theatre Festival in Lublin, which is one of the biggest and longest running one in Poland ), jogging, joga, meeting with people from all walks of life... Recently I am more invested in exploring raving as a practice for social and political change, but also a way to empower individuals and collectives.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There were a few of those but whenever I look back I always come back to one: I was a confused freshman hitchhiking through Poland, trying to figure out what I want to pursue as my major in college. And then I met a dude in hostel in Poznań who assured me that there are other ways of looking and thinking at world than those "safe" and "comfortable" ones. Thanks to him I got to sat down with homeless guy, translate the conversation, learn his life story and get a crow's feather out of it as a gift:) I still consider this Belgian dude my "soul brother":)

Teach, Learn, Share

I look forward to all experiences, good and bad, conventional and those more out there:)
