CURRENT MISSION

I like to travel, meet as many interesting people as possible, and get to know as many cultures as possible.

Most recently, I've been on a roll visiting ex-Soviet countries and the Middle East. I visited Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan in 2016, Georgia in October 2017 where I am currently living full-time since mid-May.

ABOUT ME

I am thirsty for adventures, especially traveling, and outdoor adventures like rock climbing and hiking. While traveling, I am always looking for climbing partners.

I was raised in Poland, moved to Sweden with my family when I was 11 years old, and then moved to the U.S. after high school. I have also spent some time living in France and most recently, Georgia! Clearly, I have a hard time settling in one place. Plus, my family (and heart) is split between several countries.

PHILOSOPHY

Staying open to other cultures and trying to understand people who are different from me. I like getting outside of my comfort zone and getting as much exposure to other cultures as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted quite a few people when I lived Denver for a few years. I am hoping to start hosting again as soon as I get settled in Georgia.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had the opportunity to use CS a lot when I traveled around Europe. I've also used CS in the US quite a bit. All of my experiences have been great!
