About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Wanna save the world from its boredom ^.^
And be happy!

ABOUT ME

I really enjoy exploring new countries and making friends with new people, I need adventures and discoveries! I do my best to listen to other people stories and share my experience as well :) I hope we can become friends and do something for this lovely planet :)

I'm trying to live eco-friendly and care about the environment and all living beings, so it would be cool if we share the same interests and could make this world a better place!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a host: I believe that helping people is a good thing to be done :)
I won't host people that I don't like as I take my guests as my future friends. I will share my house, my food and my mood with you, maybe we can also go out together. Actually my boyfriend and I are not from Berlin, we moved here 4 years ago, so we're not locals, but we are ready to explore together :)

IMP! Please check "My Home" for more details.
And please write me a reference if you've stayed with me or I have been your guest :)

As a surfer: It's not only about saving money (but of course, we all want to save some money), but trying to find new friends, new emotions and see the city as a local! I'm very interested in other cultures and traditions! I'm a little bit tired of "usual" touristic journeys and would like to dive into the culture as deep and possible.

Music, Movies, and Books

+ I can listen to different music styles now, but since teenager years I enjoy metal and dark gothic styles, sometimes also post-punk, trip-hop, darkwave, some jazz and folk. And yeah, old good rock`n`roll!!!

+ Movies... I try to keep balance and watch arthouse films as well as some Hollywood trash :) The best ones are done by Almodóvar, Jarmusch, David Lynch, Gus Van Sant, Michel Gondry, Park Chan Wook, Terry Gilliam, etc etc etc

+ Books that I read are mostly phantasy (Wiedźmin, GoT, LOTR), philosophical stuff, real-life stories and so on. I think that you can always find something edifying even in the boring book (but I don't like boring books, no-no)).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1. Visiting Japan! This was a dream of mine since childhood, and I'm really glad to make this dream come true ^^
2. Surviving 10-days trekking in Iceland! It was super beautiful and super hard at the same time :)
3. Meditating in the buddhist monastery in Vietnam
4. 10-days vipassana course
5. Cycling 888km Berlin-Copenhagen

Another amazing thing I've done is... being born! It's actually more on my parents, but still, I'm sure it was hard and amazing ^^
