CURRENT MISSION

'If you live each day as if it were your last, someday you'll most certainly be right'

ABOUT ME

Well, I set off on a journey to self-development and here I am. I knew climbing that Maslov's pyramid of needs won't be easy, but darn...I'm getting there, slowly but surely. Travelling is one of those little steps.
I find meeting new people/places inspirational; "remember the small things".
I work as teacher of English/EAL in a high school. Teaching is what passionate about, but I also translate/interpret.

PHILOSOPHY

Oh, well, look above.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to both host and surf myself.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Slowly but surely

Interests

I love theatre, opera, philharmonic and documentaries on BBC4. I can't spend a day without listening to radio 4.
The pursuit of knowledge...
I'm fun loving, bubbly,thoughtful but can be pensive as well.
I love dance in any form. Over the years I've been particularly fascinated by salsa, flamenco and belly dance but most recently I've discovered that swing dancing is totally my cup of tea!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was asked this question at a course, The Inner Goddess workshop and to be honest, struggled to find one thing, but I guess venturing out in pursuit of my dreams is what I'm most proud of. And maybe garment construction.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you some Polish- like the essentials, how to chat up a girl/guy.

I know some basic Latin American Dances.

Not the worst of cooks. I make excellent Carbonara and could treat you to some traditional Polish cuisine.
