Just graduated with a degree in chemistry and physics from the University of Wisconsin Madison. I still have 1 class to take yet this summer :(. I'm an amateur French and Polish speaker here in Poland on vacation, while hoping to find out more about my family history.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm able to visit Poland for a month because I found a place to stay with free room and board on Workaway. While I'm enjoying myself here, an hour by train away from Gdańsk, I would like someone my age to show me around and maybe exchange stories. While I'm not from a particularly interesting place in the United States, I'm sure I have some interesting tales to tell.

Interests

• video games
• reading
• knitting
• weightlifting

Music, Movies, and Books

Right now I'm going through a bit of an 80s ballad phase, but more generally I like John Mayer, Kings of Leon, Radiohead, Tom Waits, and Tim Hecker.
I watch a couple movies religiously, but I especially love Drive with Ryan Gosling.
Favorite book is between Atlas Shrugged or East of Eden.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Graduated with 2 majors in 3 years! I've got at least 1 grey hair from this. This feels like a job interview.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you the basics of Cribbage or Crokinole (midwestern games), some about Polish grammar, my family lineage, what to do if you have 3 days in Michigan (just to name a couple).
Tell me about yourself! If I can remember years from now 1 thing you said or did, and it can still make me laugh or smile, I'd say it was worthwhile.
I have WhatsApp, we can get in touch beforehand on there.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can cook together, bum around the city, watch OSRS videos, talk metaphysics or the occult, discuss cutting edge physical chemistry, or just chill! No but I'm totally up to cook you some average quality food by the sweat of my brow. I'm definitely up for chatting, just don't be creepy and we'll get along alright.
