About Me

I always look for ways how to escape from a daily routine and try new things. What I love on the traveling is that I can meet new people and new culture, try local food and experience completely new environment. All of this is helping me to understand the world better. My travel addiction sometimes brings me to a difficult situation, from getting lost to time pressure with getting everything done at school, but that's what pushes my personal limits. I am a cheerful, energetic and friendly person who loves being out of the comfortable zone quite often.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me, couchsurfing is is wonderful way how to meet locals when I am traveling and foreigners when I host. It is about opening up our home to strangers and exchange important things (rather than money) - time, enthusiasm, experiences, culture, food, fun. For me, It is not about "crashing at someone's place" without caring who that person is (his profile intro) or last-minute request when you just want to avoid paying for a hostel (yes I get A LOT of these requests). Because this is what couchsurfing is for me, I won't host people who don't see the couchsurfing the same way.

When requesting, please address both my boyfriend Toon and me. If you didn't make it even till here on my profile, you do not understand the essence of couchsurfing and waste our time, therefore you cannot stay with us. An impersonal couch request reflects badly on you trying to just find a free couch rather than a good host. Please, let us all do better, couchsurfing is about more than a free couch.

Interests

I really love sports and being in nature so my ideal vacation is somewhere in the mountains in a summer with a backpack or in a winter again hiking or skiing. Next to that I enjoy a mountain biking, a via ferraty climbing, a canoeing and many others. I danced for 8 years and now I am attending krav maga lessons.
I always keep my camera with me on trips and taking pictures became a hobby. It allows me to "catch" the nice moments of my life and make my life happier when watching them later.
