hi everyone! i’m sonia, 26, originally from poznań, poland. i work as a musician and theatre actress in both los angeles and new york city. i studied performing arts and slavic/balkan culture + literature back in europe, and spent a lot of time traveling and living around the balkans, i’ve called split and zagreb home for a while. i also lived in chicago and hawaii as an au pair.

i’ve been playing violin for almost two decades now, and this is what i do for a living! and i’m also a big-time traveler&hitchhiker. i met so many kind people on the road over the years, and now i’d love to give back however i can. if you ever have questions about any of the places i’ve lived, feel free to ask, happy to help!

i’m super easygoing, soft-spoken, and low-maintenance. i love to cook + share meals (i’m vegetarian, leaning vegan), bake, hang out, and just appreciate the little things. i’m outdoorsy too, starting fires, pitching tents, sleeping wherever, i’m down. love long walks, deep talks, good vibes, and exploring new horizons, i can adapt to any situation and i try to appreciate and feel grateful for little things in life.

lgbtq+ friendly 🌈 , clean, respectful of space, and always happy to meet new people&share good energy!🧚🏼‍♀️

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a classical violinist so I love Mahler, Mozart, Sibelius, Wieniawski, Ysaye, Massenet. But I am also the rocky and metal soul! David Bowie, Arctic Monkeys, Arcade Fire, Iron Maiden, Led Zeppelin, Megadeth, Parkway Drive. I also like those folk Slavic bands like R.U.T.A., Dubioza Kolektiv, Prljavo Kazalište, Znich, Mo_A. The biggest fan of Polish Woodstock (Poland'Rock) Festival!❤️‍🔥

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to Alaska during winter! I also did 200km thru-hike the "Dry Stone Route" GR221 in Mallorca with my tent and the camping stuff on my back. That was such a blast! I also hitchhiked to one of the highest villages in Europe, in Caucasus close to Russian border with Dagestan - Xinaliq, Azerbaijan. In 2023 I went to Vietnam, bought a motorbike in the north and drive all the way down to Saigon. I also worked as a teacher at a girl's shelter in the Usambara mountains in Tanzania. That was my greatest adventure so far!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some Polish, Croatian or English basics (I'm part time English teacher), I would also love to share the living abroad experience (I lived in the USA and Croatia). Violin is also big part of my life, I play for 17 years now so I can show you some tricks about performing on stage.
