About Me

While travelling I got knee injuries (meniscus) in 2024, so now I need to be slightly more careful when exploring the world 🫶🏻🌎 in December 2025 I just finished my 9-month-long travel and I will rest in Poland for some weeks/months

At the end on July 2022 I finished my 7,5-month long travel through the east African countries (Tanzania, Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya)! In October 2022 I left to the Dominican Republic for 4 months but I ended up staying there for 7 months and then travelling through Central America for another 8 months.
THESE ARE my biggest spontaneous travelling adventures 🫶

I love travelling and latino dances (bachata dominicana, merengue) and kizomba :) I find travelling as something that gives the best experience possible, I learn about new people, their living styles, new places. I want to enjoy the moments that we have now :) and not waiting till we get old. The more I travel, the more I see how the world is different and amazing and it sort of stops me from settling down in one place 😍

Travelling makes me feel free like nothing else. It makes me create myself and helps to find happiness in little things :)

The more I travel, the more I want to travel! 😎

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think meeting the locals is the best way of travelling to new places in order to learn more and build amazing memories. Thanks to it, I learned a lot and experienced things which would have never happened without CS. Also, when I travel alone, it's great to stay with someone because it doesn't feel that lonely anymore.

I don't have many opportunities to host, but I like hosting because it allows me to travel without travelling 😁

Interests

I love traveling by myself and meeting new people, however, it would be fun to find a travel partner! I'm into foreign languages.

My hobby is also photography which helps me to keep my travel memories 😋 and I love checking the best nature spots to get the best shots!
