Overview
About Me
Always smiling and excited to get to know some new people!
I am a polish girl who lives in the UK and works as a civil engineer. I love food, cooking, dancing, backpacking, learning new languages and discovering new cultures.
I am very friendly, responsible and always aware of people around me, so I won't cause any problems if you are hosting me! :) I look forward to meeting you soon!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I would love to meet local people when I travel and in my home as well. It's so nice to learn about different cultures and get the local perspective and make friends at the same time!
Interests
I am a real foodie and I love cooking and baking, making my own sour-dough bread. In between studying the engineering, I dance flamenco, hip hop, jazz and anything else that makes me happy. I'm meditating, travelling and hitch-hiking. I love talking with people, from having a laugh together to discussing the culture, politics, economy and the social situation in the world. I am fascinated by the Spanish/ South American culture so I started studying Spanish language to communicate better and get to know their amazing food!
Very curious and with lots of enthusiasm I am just about to start my journey of discovering the world step by step... ;)

Music, Movies, and Books
there are so many of those! Right now I keep re-reading 'Como Agua Para Chocolate' ('Like water for chocolate'), loving the food descriptions and so much passion the book expresses.
Music..quite a variety - jazz,blues, funk&soul, hip-hop, latin music, world and folk music, and a bit of others too :)
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Solo backpacking the south of México for almost a month.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I love everything food related and I am always happy to cook together, share my culinary knowledge and bake some delicious cakes/ breads. There is nothing better than sharing food with people!
I can help you with learning your English, Spanish or, if you feel adventurous, some Polish too :)!
I am happy to share tips on how to travel around the world backpacking and learning about new cultures, especially within the Latin Americas and Europe.
