I have a degree in Anthropology and spent a couple summers working at a 17th century cemetery excavation in rural Poland. I took a break from academia and moved to Victoria, BC where I've been managing a tea shop. I don't seem to settle for long, so I'm ready for the next adventure. I'm planning to return to Poland again this summer to teach English.

I like drinking tea, sewing and crafting, and cooking delicious food. I'm often my happiest when I'm on a bike or in the mountains hiking, climbing or camping. I'm probably one of the shortest people you'll meet, but my level of awesome far exceeds my stature. ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm new to the world of couchsurfing! My friend suggested I give it a go, and I love travelling, and I love meeting people, so it looks like I can't go wrong!

Interests

Meeting new people, sharing some beers or tea with new friends, eating and cooking food, and exploring bits of nature I've never seen before.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can show you how to knit or make you cookies. I'm also happy to assist with minor bike repairs and find cleaning out a drive chain to be immensely satisfying. I will also belay you!
