CURRENT MISSION secret ABOUT ME I'm easy going, adaptable, open-minded. Also said to be friendly and funny. Rather introvert. Adventurous and megalazy. Logical and empathetic. disclaimer: "Do I contradict myself? Very well then I contradict myself, (I am large, I contain multitudes.)" I am vegan, quite new to the kind diet, in fact, so I'm always eager to learn more about veganism, nutrition, etc. PHILOSOPHY Hmm, I'm afraid I'm quite rational and not very sentimental when it comes to this. I believe there's only one life and you should live it the way you want and do what makes you happy - after all, how you feel is all that matters.
Interested in Animals
Fluent in English
Learning German

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Host and guest. I was way more active some 5 years ago, so I do have some experience, but right now it's pretty rusty. Hoping to brush up on it and gain some new memories and knowledge :) COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE It was very positive, I must say. At times I had some reservations and some of the things were disappointing, however it's about 1% of the whole picture. As much as I value all sorts of experience and see them as lessons in life, I find learning in nice atmosphere the most effective and interesting ;)
Music, Movies, and Books
FILMS: comedies, thrillers, documentaries BOOKS: non-fiction MUSIC: http://www.lastfm.pl/user/zayatsylwia/ More recent: Lana Del Rey, Die Antwoord, rediscovering brit-pop
One Amazing Thing I've Done
too many to list ;)
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach some Polish (I think) or at least just have a convo in Polish with you and teach you some phrases and stuff about Poland. Can also share my vegan experience with you. Plus, I can tell your fortune with tarot cards ;) As for learning from others, I could do with an opportunity to learn some painting as it's something I have practically no idea about, but I have a feeling I would greatly enjoy it. I always enjoy a good debate, where I can get to know different viewpoints etc. I like discussing philosophy, ethics, humanity... and many other not so serious topics. I'm generally open and eager to learn things (though there are a few fields of knowledge I am surprisingly resistant to, such as history and economics), so I'm pretty much interested in whatever you want to share with me. Oh oh oh, and how to play chess - I've never had a chance to learn that! Or some other interesting games. Oh, I like playing "name that tune", because I always win ;)
My Interests
- I'm generally a lazybones sybarite ;) - learning languages (yeah well, not so much now, but most of my life I used to be very much into it; however I'm soon travelling to Spain, so I've taken up Spanish, again) - music - I like listening to all sort of stuff and broadening my horizons, but I prefer singing to listening - I prefer listening to speaking, though. Learning about people's lives, hearing their stories is fascinating and always gives me a new perspective on life - pubs, coffees, drinks, eating out, beers and wines - I'm generally an introvert but I definitely like going out and checking out places, no dancing though ;) - animal rights, utilitarianism, veganism, religion, philosophy, blah blah - jadedism - fun
