About Me

Hi! I'm a curious and open-minded person from Poland, currently living in Warsaw but often traveling to Kraków. I’m a language teacher and cultural/language coach, and I’m currently working on a project about how foreigners experience life in Poland. I also create educational content about different cultures and how we can better understand one another.

I love deep conversations, learning about other people’s everyday lives, and seeing the world through someone else’s eyes. I’m introverted by nature, but once I feel comfortable, I’m very warm, playful, and talkative. I care deeply about mutual respect and creating a good vibe.

My background is a mix of arts and science – I draw, sing, and read about genetics, physics, and space in my free time. I’m also learning Korean and preparing for the TOPIK exam (wish me luck!). One of my dreams is to live in Korea and Japan for a while to get to know the culture from the inside.

I've been vegan for health and ethical reasons for over 8 years, and I'm always happy to share tips on plant-based food – or cook something together if you’d like!

Also, I live with a very opinionated cat – she's not a big fan of strangers, but I adore him anyway.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people with different perspectives, have meaningful conversations, and experience daily life in different cultures – not just see tourist attractions. I also love hosting and helping travelers feel at home in a new place.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: A wide mix – from BTS and classical music to symphonic metal, jazz indie folk and lo-fi. I love music that feels honest or atmospheric.
Movies: I like thoughtful films, documentaries, and horror movies.
Books: I read across genres – from popular science and psychology to classic literature and manga.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once helped someone overcome their fear of speaking a foreign language — and years later, they messaged me from the country they moved to, speaking fluently. That moment made me realize how powerful small encouragements can be.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I can teach you some Polish, how to pronounce BTS members' names correctly, or how to make simple plant-based meals. I’m also happy to share what I know about cultural intelligence and language learning.

Learn: I’d love to learn about your culture, your daily routines, or even how you make your morning coffee. Also open to learning new languages or musical styles.

Share: My curiosity, calm energy, bad puns, and hopefully some good food. I love meaningful exchanges – let’s swap stories, songs, or small philosophies.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good conversations, cultural insights, tips for learning languages or understanding Poland, plant-based recipes, and an open heart. I also enjoy drawing small portraits as little gifts.

Countries I’ve Visited
