About Me

After spending my 20s on couches, I finally have a couch (bed) to pay it forward to other travellers. Are you currently in Poland? Feel free to drop a line and my wife and I will welcome you to a warm meal, bedroom, and nature. Our log home is surrounded by wilderness, with easy access to hikes and public transport.

I do know how tiring extensive travel can be - so please utilize our home as a rest stop for however long

Music, Movies, and Books

Indie, funk, soul, and classic jazz are my favorites. But depending on my mood, i can listen to almost anything.

My top books are The Alchemist, The Unbearable Lightness of Being, The Celestine Prophecy, ALL Game of Thrones, and many other self help books, such as Drive, Flow, etc etc

I have a newfound love for any and all Milan Kundera books, which has led me down a journey of Slavic authors

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing anyone can do is inspire at least one person in their lifetime. It is my goal to do this with every person i meet, including YOU :)

During these years i've moonshined rum in the depths of the jungle, slept in a hammock for a year straight in a sustainable community, hiked between remote villages, learned a new language, snowboarded the greatest mountains, and met the greatest people.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love sharing stories of experiences, and I find the beauty in a good story lies on the difficulty and heaviness of the burden that it holds.

Once upon a time I was a sustainable entrepreneurship professor to groups of students. It may have been the most rewarding thing I have done!!

I can teach english, converse in many theories, philosophize on endless topics, share stories on life experiences, and learn together the beauty of friendship

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can provide many adventurous stories, help clean the house, encourage the use of sustainable methods, and give advice on entrepreneurship
