Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Enrich the life of myself and others.
ABOUT ME
I'm Spontaneous; love to travel and meet new people!
I believe that everyone has something to teach you. Hence, I love to talk to people about a wide variety of things, especially new things!
I just moved to Krakow and love it here. I aspire to get experience as an engineer. Really interested in the topics of machine learning and data science.
I'm really into Brazillian jiu jitsu. I like how martial arts teaches you the importance of training and doing things correctly (the sport becomes really technical). I like sports in general, and things outdoors.
PHILOSOPHY
"To those who feel, life is a tragedy... to those who think, life is a comedy"

Music, Movies, and Books
"Modern Man in Search of a Soul" by C.G. Jung is one I just got through with. Currently, I'm reading "Stumbling on Happiness" by Dan Gilbert. I generally like talking about anything related to psychology, philosophy, history, politics, different cultures, outdoors stuff, etc.
I'm trying to learn polish.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I participated in a humanitarian effort in Kyrgyzstan, to reach a highly secluded Dunegan tribe in the mountains. In order to reach some of the villagers, we were on horse back, it was a surreal experience.
Teach, Learn, Share
Reading about a place, seeing it on TV, those things aren't full representations of it. I believe that anyone you can meet has something interesting to teach you, because that way you are a little closer to being in their shoes.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I live really close to the space needle, in Lower Queen Anne, and have a spare air mattress.
