A quick summary of the past year or so of my life that has put me on this path:
Quit my corporate job in Feb. 2014, spent the next month skiing the Northeast U.S. living out of my car being a ski bum, then worked on an organic farm in Massachusetts from May to November, and then flew to Puerto Rico in November 2014 to work at a hostel & start my Spanish language learning journey. During my time in Puerto Rico, I found that it wasn't the right place to be learning Spanish...the accent is not my favorite, they speak very fast/casually, and there's wayyyy too much English/Spanglish. So I've decided to move on to Mexico to learn some proper Spanish :)

But to summarize myself...I'm respectful, I clean up after myself, I love socializing/communicating with others, I listen, and I want to speak Spanish!!!

Dlaczego jestem na Couchsurfing

I wish I could reciprocate/offer up my own place for people to stay, but unfortunately I can't because I currently don't have a true permanent residence. Hopefully at some point during the next few years I'll find a city that I don't want to leave and then I'll put my "couch" up on this site.

I'm on this site because I have a limited budget and I want to meet locals who know their area/region, speak Spanish, and share the desire to meet good people who share similar interests.

Muzyka, filmy i książki

I will listen and dance to anything...literally. I enjoy a variety of genres & artists and I'm always open to new music suggestions.

I don't watch much TV and haven't seen many movies lately but I'd love to see more Spanish-language films from Mexico/South America/Spain.

Authors like Kurt Vonnegut and Michael Pollan, travel-philosophy books like On The Road by Kerouac and Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintence by Robert Pirsig. Books about farming/agricultural policy, politics, energy, science, and travel are of interest to me. I need to read more fiction!

Jedna niesamowita rzecz, którą zrobiłem(-am)

Spent a month during the winter of 2014 living out of my car skiing every single day up in Vermont, New Hampshire, & Maine! (states in the northeast of the United States bordering Canada) Not once did the temperature get above 0 degrees Celsius/32 degrees Fahrenheit, even during the day!

Ucz innych, ucz się sam, udostępniaj

Teach: more than willing to teach some English in exchange for speaking Spanish! ...other than that, I could teach you to how to start a garden or maybe how to cook (or we could cook together if you already know how)!

Learn: Spanish and even more Spanish...I've never been so committed to something and my primary goal in life right now is learning the language, the culture, and the people.

Share: see the box below...?

Czym mogę się podzielić z gospodarzami

Stories, insights, cooking, knowledge, the human experience, positivity, generosity, compassion.

I'm just happy to leave the U.S. and share some time with other people, whether that be a few minutes or a few days. To see the world through the eyes of others. To communicate in the Spanish language because it provides a different perspective.

I believe in the goodwill of people and trust others. You can trust that your experience with me will only be positive.
