About Me

Travelling started as a vacation hobby during my studies in Gdańsk 🇵🇱 - I was hitchhiking to some European countries whenever I had more than a week of free time. During my Erasmus in Málaga 🇪🇸, I figured out that living abroad and slowly getting to know the local culture and language brings me more joy. After finishing the uni, I volunteered taking care of dogs for a few months in Norway 🇳🇴. Then I went back to my hometown, Poznań 🇵🇱, for an internship in a hospital. In the meantime I lived every now and then with my boyfriend in Heidelberg 🇩🇪 and Tenerife 🇮🇨. Now back in Norway, who knows for how long. 🇳🇴

I'm into learning languages, hitchhiking, trying new things, cycling, dumpster diving and long hikes. Normally not into festivals, restaurants and clubs.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Mostly because when I don't have a lot of time to travel - hosting someone feels like travelling without leaving your home. Listening to my guests/hosts talking about their culture, passions and travels is the ultimate goal in every CS experience. I'm also always grateful to just accompany my host in their normal daily activities to understand their world better.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

~64 418 km by hitchhiking (and counting) 👍

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a lot of random, mostly useless skills. I can teach you to solve the Rubik's cube, the lyrics to most of Ylvis and Queen songs, knitting and to fold the origami crane. Trying my best with ukulele but I'm pretty bad at it still.

When it comes to learning - if the teacher is good I can listen about and try anything, the list of random skills needs expanding.
