Born in Vienna, Austria to Polish parents who moved to St. Louis when I was 2 months old. I grew up in St. Louis, except for a 2 year period when my family loved to Poland and about 1.5 years living in Strasbourg, France during college. My travels have taken me throughout most of Europe, and I got a chance to visit Brazil during the World Cup.

Here to meet new people passing through my hometown or while I am out traveling.

I love learning about local traditions, foods, and stuff only locals would know. I can help people discover St. Louis either by showing them around, or giving them recommendations based on their interests.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet new people while I'm out traveling and hopefully return the favor for those in my hometown.

Music, Movies, and Books

Pretty much anything. I've been surprised by some of the stuff I've ended up liking, despite the idea that I probably wouldn't. Music especially - you can find pretty much anything on my Spotify and Pandora.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hard to pick one. Lived in Europe twice. German roadtrip (❤️ driving on the Autobahn). Skiing in the Alps. Oktoberfest in Munich. World Cup in Brazil. Renting a villa in Sardinia with friends. And so much more. I really can't pick.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A good attitude, and a thirst for knowledge and adventure. I can also bring local adult beverages from my hometown and tell stories from my travels.
