Hey, I’m Sara 🌻
Polish by origin, Dutch by postcode.

I’m a designer with a background in psychology.
I’ve lived in Peru, Spain, Poland and now the Netherlands, always learning something new (and unlearning a few things too) in each place.

I love home made soups, cakes, nature, cozy towns and slow mornings. I’m pescatarian so I don’t eat meat (but I do eat fish sometimes). I’m someone who always packs light but somehow carries lots of thoughts

I speak Polish, English, Spanish, and I’m learning Dutch.

I care about the planet, animals, and people trying their best. I am into walks, sharing stories, and the sort of conversations that stay with you for days.

Couchsurfing, to me, isn’t about a free bed. It’s about people, generosity, and shared moments that you wouldn’t get at a hotel. So I’m here to connect with felllow travelers, not for dating or a free hostel- and I hope that’s your vibe too :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was introduced to Couchsurfing by my sister 12 years ago. I was 18, so I had already started traveling on my own and I discovered that CS is the best way to have an authentic travel experience.

- Kayak tour in the bioluminescent lagoon, PURE MAGIC!!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a master’s degree in psychology and I enjoy conversation about social psychology, philosophy, politics, social issues.
I currently work as UX designer. I’m interested in digital design/usability/human-computer interaction.
I also like to bake, cook vegetarian food and make desserts. I’ve mastered a few easy but spectacular cake recipes that I can teach or share ;)
