I'm just a human bean embracing each day with my arms wide open! I'm a half Polish, half Cuban, Swedish citizen who grew up moving around the United States, so the question "where are you from?" has always perplexed me. The world never ceases to amaze me, with its endless variety of special places, full of spectacular people with the kindest of hearts.
I'm a seeker, an optimist, a lifelong student and lover of life. I would describe myself as open-minded, positive, considerate, spontaneous, and curious. I moved to Stockholm 6 months ago, and figured I should take this opportunity to travel Europe as much as I possibly can!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here because meeting new people is what travel is all about! I will pick this over a hotel/airbnb any day of the week. I am an extrovert in the truest sense and love to meet people from all walks of life. I prefer slow travel, and want the chance to get to know a place and its people more intimately than just as a passerby.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The latest spontaneous adventure of mine is moving halfway across the world to my birthplace, Sweden! I made the decision to move and boarded my plane in the same week, and if i could do it all over again I would not change a single thing :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to share any of my hobbies/interests with the people I meet, and am always up to learn something new. Expert in scavenging/gardening? Pass on the green thumb!
Climber extraordinaire? Lets go send some spicy routes!
Picasso/Kahlo in-the-making? You'll have to allow me to marvel at your skill & creativity, cuz my artistic ability is currently equivalent to that of an enthusiastic 5-year old

What I Can Share with Hosts

I enjoy sharing my knowledge of Polish and Spanish. I love practicing these languages any chance I can get!

I'm a sucker for philosophical discussions: stoicism, effective altruism, spirituality, anything! I love it when you can skip the small talk ( I mean how many times do you want to hear about the weather anyways?) and dive deep into the big questions of life. We are all here together on this journey we called life on this beautiful blue marble in space, might as well marvel at it and share the stories and experiences we have collected on the way!

Amateur vegan chef in the making, so I'm always up for putting some tunes on and making a stellar dinner.

Above all else, I see meeting new people as a serendipitous adventure, so let's chat, laugh, and be merry!
