I'm a musician, writer and language enthusiast, originally from Poland and now calling Los Angeles home. I love meeting people from all different parts of the world, be it during my travels or when tutoring English here in LA. I'm not accepting surfers at the moment but hit me up if you're in the area and would like to get together!

Interests

I'm in an indie-pop band called FALA (fala.bandcamp.com); I also do music journalism for Tiny Mix Tapes, Prefix Magazine, and Ad Hoc.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can speak several languages reasonably well, and could possibly teach guitar/bass/music production. I'm always down to practice my Spanish, Portuguese and Swedish.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am passionate about the city I live in and its history; I can always point you to some cool spots off the beaten path in and around L.A.
