About Me

Microbiologist and science enthusiast :) Very active, trying to do few things at once. I wish day has at least 48h because there are so many amazing things to see, people to meet, things to discover.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I believe that travelling with guide book, going to touristing places and sleeping in hostels is not for me. I really enjoy sharing experiences with people with different point of view, visiting places that only local people know, to see it all from the inside :)

Interests

I'm never get bored, I am always able to find sth for myself :) I used to breed tropical insects (leaf insects, phasmids, also mantids), I love writing so I used to write some articles for webpages or magazines, I used to be a volunteer in a ZOO. I also love travelling and I really feel sick if I stay more than one year at home without any new experience :P
I like learning new languages, specially these more exotic ones :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I love watching movies, like "Chocolate", "Inouchables". Also animations are more than welcome in my case (see "Zootopia" or "How to train your dragon"). I also love reading books, specially about travelling, but to be honest my studies doesn't let me to do that as often as before.

About music it's hard to say - I have my favourite traks in almost all kinds of music :) Also depends on mood. Sometimes I prefer Archive, sometimes Apocalyptica, and other day Etno or Florence&The Machine.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I met a tiger (not in a cage) and I didn't run away :P (okay, okay, it was because I was too shocked :P)

What I Can Share with Hosts

For sure nice company :) I can share my experience about places I've visited, I can cook sth (but please don't ask me for pierogi, as I've never been patient enough to prepare them :P but I can prepare awesome rice with curry, chilli and pineapple).

Also some small gifts are possible, let me know if you prefer postcards or magnets etc. :)

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Northern Ireland, Slovakia
