Hi, my name is Michelle. I'm Mexican and Polish but grew up in Chicago. Just graduated college in 2016 and teaching English at an Environmental Engineering University in Czestochowa, Poland for the next 9 months. I studied Sociology, Earth and Oceanographic Science, and Education. Talk to me about identity politics, revolutions, your travels, life-changing books, and movies that have shaken your soul. I can't wait to see new places and meet amazing people :]

**can't believe I have to say this but I've had some unpleasant experiences with some people on here so here it goes: I'm not interested in hooking up or doing anything sexual with a host so if you're messaging me with that intention, don't. If that's what you're looking for, go on Tinder.**

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking to meet people, explore new places, practice Polish/Spanish, and share what I know with other people. So much to learn out there. I'm also all about traveling on a budget and understanding a place through a local's perspective. If anyone needs a place to crash because hotels and hostels can be expensive, I totally understand. Plus, I love showing people around my city in Poland (or Poland in general) so I'm looking for some of that same experience in return.
