I'm from the USA but I live in Poland. This has confused a lot of people that I've met on here, so I'm just letting you know up front. My wife and I are back in Warsaw after 2 years of nonstop travel. We'll get back to it soon but happy to host while we're in one place.

We both work, so please only request to stay with us if you're comfortable with spending time by yourself around the city. We'll try our hardest to make time to meet you and do something together, but no promises. For that reason we prefer self-sufficient travelers who are fine spending time on their own.

We are more than happy to give suggestions on things to do during your stay and we will!! But if you think you need a local guide to show you around all day then we aren't the best choice for you. Enjoy the freedom and come and go from our home as you wish (:

We are happy to host other travelers. If you want to stay with us, all I ask is that you read my entire profile. Let me know in your message that you did. I'll know immediately if you didn't and I will decline your request without remorse!

Please message me with more than just "hi." That tells me nothing about you, your personality, or your intentions for hanging out with me, so I will ignore you, even if you are graciously offering to host me.

Only add me on social media if we have met in real life or have agreed to meet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Half of my trips are solo. I like meeting people and making new connections, which this app has helped me with a lot. I used to be extremely introverted. Still am, but less so now thanks to CS 😎

Music, Movies, and Books

Music- Bladee, Converge, Black Moth Super Rainbow, Björk, Baroness, Barış Manço, Wiki, Freddie Gibbs, Subsonic Eye, Fishmans, Slowdive, many more. This list hardly scratches the surface.

Books- Travel reportages, Thomas De Waal, Edward Said. Plenty more

Movies- Directors like Wim Wenders, Werner Herzog, Agnieszka Holland, Agnes Varda, Sergei Parajanov, Abbas Kiarostami, Sean Baker, etc. I'm NOT into Marvel movies or other franchises with a shit ton of sequels, nor am I a Disney adult.

What I Can Share with Hosts

One billion trillion dollars...but seriously, I will respect you, your rules/customs and your time. I've witnessed CS users taking advantage of their hosts and it drove me insane. I'm not sure what kind of cultural exchange I can offer as an American dude from the suburbs but I'll try my best 😁
