About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live abroad and travel.

I just hit the road and am no longer accepting guests in Warsaw, as I'm no longer there :) You can find me on the road in the USA.

ABOUT ME

I have 2 YouTube channels, 1 about my life in Japan and the other in polish about the USA. You can learn a thing or two about me from the channels -

The most valuable thing to me is to meet new people and form connections.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing makes the traveling experience so much better. You can return to a warm home after visiting a city and it really enriches the experience.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books- A Prayer for Owen Meany, Harry Potter Series (I can't help it, I grew up on them)

Movies - Blow, Love Me if you Dare, X-men Series, State of Play, City of God, Better Days

Music- EVERYTHING, I don't know where to start. It's very random and eclectic. So here are just a few bands- Passion Pit, AC/DC, The Shins, Kings of Leon, WIlco. I can find something enjoyable in almost every tune.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My most amazing experience so far has been studying abroad in Rio de Janeiro and it has inspired me to travel more and meet people of all different cultures. Afterward, I backpacked a bit through South America and had a chance to ride a bike down the death road. I loved this experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

Stress less- If you can fix it, then fix it. If you can't, then forget about it.

Meeting people and traveling are kind of similar - it's good to have a purpose, but having a strict agenda can take away an opportunity for a great lesson.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Fun, stories, cooking, cleaning, things from Japan and Poland!
