Hello, I’m Paulina, I'm a medical doctor from Warsaw, currently living in London . I really enjoy traveling, meeting new people and trying local delicacies. My true passion is cooking and I would love to share a meal with you in your kitchen if you host me. I have spent 1 year of my life studying in Málaga, Spain, a short period of time in Brazil and Italy in both Napoli and Palermo. I speak Polish, English, Spanish and basic Italian.

At the moment I'm travelling around Vietnam, Japan and Cambodia with my South African boyfriend. I would love to meet with local people, eat traditional food and learn about the Asian culture.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel, meet new people, spend time with locals, share life experience and couchsurfing connects all of these.

Interests

My biggest passion is food, I love spending time looking for new recipies and my favourite thing is to explore the local food culture, wherever I am. I really enjoy traveling and discovering new places. Of course, none of the above can be done without people. When I travel I love meeting local people, learning from them and cooking with them.
