CURRENT MISSION

To travel as much as I can before getting a real job after graduation.

ABOUT ME

I was born in Lodz, Poland and grew up there until age 11. Then I moved to Chicago and have been here ever since. I'm currently in grad school working on my PhD in chemistry. I love studying languages (French, Mandarin, and most recently - Spanish). I enjoy traveling to new places and sightseeing and hope to do a lot of it before I graduate and have to settle into a real job.

PHILOSOPHY

I like to experience things for myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love meeting new people and showing them around Chicago.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have stayed with people before that I have met online (not on this website) and am quite comfortable doing it. Similarly, I have had people crash on my couch when they visited Chicago, so I am familiar with the experience.

Interests

Traveling and sightseeing, shopping, trying new restaurants -- I will eat pretty much everything, studying languages, frozen coffee drinks
