Hi!
I'm Jędrzej (YEN-jay / Andy), a Silesian/Polish studying law and international relations in Warsaw. I'm into history, politics, and hiking – I'm also pretty talkative and love having all kinds of chats, especially about local cultures and digging into the stories behind different countries. When I was 5 i moved out with my family from my homecity in Silesia/Ślůnsk/Oberschlesien- Bytom/Beuthen to Warsaw due to economical turmoil after fall of communism in Poland.
If you are going to Warsaw or looking for hiking/mountaineering advices about Poland drop me a message!

As you can see I prefer chill conversation and a beer than partying (but sometimes i like to dance a little bit;) :).
