About Me

Hmm... never liked to talk about myself. It's hard to put into words what you want to say.
I've lived in England for the past 8 years, my native country is Poland. I love animals, countryside, coffee and pizza. I'll choose a sunrise (even if it is so hard to get up) rather than a sunset, would visit a castle rather than a church, eat cheap pizza on the seaside rather than expensive meal in a restaurant.
We have recently adopted a dog so please bear it in mind when requesting a stay ☺️

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking for an alternative way of visiting countries, where I can get an insight of the place from the resident, instead of being just a tourist. Whenever I travel I'm searching for hidden gems, places where natives would eat, drink or spend their free time. I would love to visit cities/towns from a local's point of view.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy listening to rock with a small participation of metal music.
My favorite band is Bon Jovi.
I would spend a bit of time listening to Nirvana, Korn or Linkin Park.
Classic music and reggae is something that I like too.

I love reading. My variation of books is pretty wide and depends on my mood and time of the year mostly.
I read classics and enjoy modern fiction. Biographies became new topic since I've read Kurt Cobain's story.
I like a bit of history and psychological books. There's always something new to discover.

The best movies for me are based on true events but I enjoy a bit of a laugh spiced with wit too.
My favorite series is Gilmore Girls but I've seen more than that.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm not sure but probably would include diving as I am not a fan of water ;)
