ABOUT ME

Well, I am quite a socialble and very talkative person, who loves to laugh and make other people laugh as well. I have been blessed with the best mother in the world who gave me a chance to travel and learn. Music is definitely my biggest passion, I have played the piano since I was five yo. I love singing and dancing as well, I believe music is the best way to express myself. .

As if for right now I am studying business chinese in beautiful city of Shanghai while doing my fourth year of sinology in Poland - it tends to get craaaaazy, but imma geek haha.
I love hearing about cultural differences among countries and broading my horizons with every person I meet on my journey which I call life.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to live to the fullest and don't regret my past. I believe that hard work can lead to success. LOVE is my religion. I think anyone should have a right to be free and love the person that they choose. I like being organised but I tend to walk with my head in the clouds. A bit of spontneity also never killed nobody.. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Why? Simply because I loove meeting new people and getting to know something weird and unexpected about different cultures.

Interests

Languages- > currently trying to master Chinese and get to know some Russian
Sport- >former pointguard in UJ AZS basketball team now a home-gym bunny

Music-> I enjoy all kinds of music, as cheesy as it sounds. Lately I've been more into trap or deep house vibes, but I also love to chill with Chopin or Jean-Michel Blais , from time to time.

I also love singing, playing piano and dancing.
Music is very theraputic for me.

Self development-> I really love learning how to be an even better person everyday. So I love trying new things all the time. I am in a constant persuit for inner peace that would lead me to success.

手舞足蹈 shou3 wu3 zu2dao3 - is a chinese idiom meaning dance for joy
