Hello! I am an artist originally from Poland currently residing in Enfield CT, and i love everything about traveling. Last January and February 2015 I embarked on an all-american cross country road trip with my fella, Mike and we saw some amazing cities and sites such as the florida keys, new orleans, Yosemite, Grand Canyon, the rocky mountains, the pacific coast highway through big sur, the redwood forests, Los Angeles, Durango, CO, and San Francisco just to name a few of my favorites. This fall we are planning to do a similar trip but this time trekking through the continent of europe, we have set dates we plan to be in Dublin, London, Paris, Barcelona, and Rome, and plan to visit a few more cities and we would love the kindness of some hosts. I've visited parts of Europe before (Paris, and Cote d'azur) but Both of us are largely unfamiliar with a lot of this grand continent, and are seeking insider knowledge on this nerve wrecking but very exciting adventure. we are also traveling entertainers, I am a professional face and body painter, and temporary tattooist and Mike is a caricature artist. We'd be happy to tattoo, paint, and draw our hosts! We can't wait to get to know you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I was in College I wished there was a way I could be a full-time student, because I love learning and never want to stop. I can never get enough of opening up my mind to new things, and also because it's great to be in that college environment and being surrounded by like-minded people. Now I have a similar dream for traveling. With traveling one never stops learning something new, and with more that I see, I yearn to see and learn even more. Couchsurfing is an awesome community that lets this dream flourish. It is a community or like-minded people that also like to learn more. It's also great to meet new friends along every adventure you take.

Music, Movies, and Books

Love all types of music like rap, post-rock, trip-hop, oldies, and anything a little different, I love to introduce new music into my list all of the time. One of my favorite bands is Do Make Say Think

Kurt Vonnegut is one of my favorite writers

It is impossible to pick a favorite movie but I love wes anderson, guillermo del toro, and terry gillam among others

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once spent 6 weeks traveling across france with 18 peers, it was one of the best things i've ever done! Last winter I drove across the U.S.A from massachusetts to the florida keys to California and back. The U.S is a huge country with a lot to see and I am happy to have seen so much such as the Florida Keys, New Orleans, Durango, CO, the rocky mountains, the grand Canyon, Yosemite, Los Angeles, San Francisco , New York, and the Pacific Coast Highway through Big Sur, just to name some of my favorites. I can't wait to see even more of the world.
