About Me

CURRENT MISSION

have a nice life :D

ABOUT ME

I like to travel and I really like my hometown, Warszawa - and couchsurfing is useful for both these interest as I can travel with a different perspective or show you around my city and host you.

Warsaw is not an easy city to explore when you've just come here, so you'll need a good guide ;) Unlike in Krakow, Wroclaw and, say, Barcelona, there's no defined city centre where you'd find many attractions (both touristic and not-so-touristic). Warsaw is constantly changing, the most interesting venues from last year may not be here this summer, but there are new places, new parties, galleries, events.. If you're coming during the summer, the Wisla river has come alive in recent years so there's great deal of exploring and partying at the riverbanks, for example.

Anyway, if I will be here when you're here, I'll be happy to meet you, learn something new about the world and hopefully show you something of interest to you here.

And more specifically about me - I've graduated the Warsaw School of Economics with a degree in International Relations, after having studied other stuff like Sociology, too. Now I work in a small but rather lively firm where I do various and ever-changing things in good company and nice surroundings ;)

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've made my couch available and answer questions from people who wanna come to Warsaw. It's quite amazing to be able to help and host people. I also like showing people all the less-touristy stuff Warsaw has to offer.
