Overview
About Me
Hi everyone! I'm currently in Montreal but soon to be having an amazing Eramsus experience in Clermont-Ferrand, France.
I'm an outdoor freak, loving nature and being especially crazy about exploring mountains. Somehow they started calling me Avalanche ;)
I'm also a sixth year medical student, studying in Katowice, however I would be glad to meet you in my family city - Cracow (when I'm back from any of my travels).
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To meet up with new people, cultures and languages, share experiences and reflections about life
Interests
As I wrote in my previous description, I love outdoor activities. I try to spend every weekend far from the city, hiking or doing bike. I'm eager to discover new outdoor sports - at the moment I hope to become a better climber and kayaker!
I pay great attention to the animal welfare. I've been volunteering in a wild animal rescue foundation, where I've learnt a lot about birds and small mammals. Also, I'm concentrated on helping laboratory animals. I decided to become vegan 3 years ago. Once my dream was to become a vet but...
I chose human medicine. And got nothing to regret! I really enjoy advising people and learning about their health. I'm passionate about research, especially in cancer and molecular biology. I'm conducting my own projects at my University.
What I must not forget to mention is my last year discovery... Lindy hop! This member of swing dance family totally stole my heart. I always enjoyed jazz music but at the moment I learnt how to get the moves... I felt fulfilled. Moreover, you will find awesome people in the swing community! (not to confuse with swingers...!)
