About Me

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am from the USA, currently working and traveling in Poland for 3 months with my girlfriend (also from USA), who speaks fluent Polish.

We both work at an ecologic farm and folkschool between Warsaw and Plock ("Ziarno" ) in June and July. Then we will explore and climb in southern Poland in August, visiting the Jura and Tatra and Bieszczady.

We'd like to stay with people interested in the arts, ecology, mountains, yoga, or world travel...Also, who are happy to share about good experiences in Poland! We are both nature lovers but like to enjoy cities and we love to cook, so are happy to make a meal for you!

Interests

I have spent the last years pursuing climbing and alpinism professionally, as a journalist and art director, then as a bread baker, and finally I find myself working in farming and conservation. Recently, I've spent many months travelling in Europe and southeast Asia.
