CURRENT MISSION

To experience something new every day....

ABOUT ME

I am a Polish-American and plan to visit Poland again next April to teach ESL at Angloville English Immersion programmes, and also plan to visit Brno and Bratislava, though a week in Scotland is starting to sound appealing.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm very easy-going, laid back and am most comfortable with others who feel the same way. After being a Type-B person in a Type-A world, I choose now to explore; that's what I've always enjoyed anyhow.
Learning about places and lives from CS'ers is very rewarding.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am both guest and a host. I've enjoyed all of those times and have met some great people. I love the stories people tell and I have my own to share, suggestions of things to do..

I'm in the process of moving and can't host right now - but I can certainlly help you with travel ideas for the Pacific Northwest!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I backpacked for 3 months in Australia. Trekked from Brisbane around to Melbourne, Perth for a concert, stayed on couches at apartments and farms and met a lot of awesome people.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love good conversation, and as a Mensan am open to a good debate about anything. I teach English in Poland during the summer when I can, I'm a Toastmaster and like to coach new members.
