About Me

I hope to have constant adventures, and capture incredible memories with photographs.

I'm a graduate from Central Michigan University, having studied Speech Therapy and Psychology. I am a fulltime photographer now.

I live in metro Detroit. I spend most weekends venturing down to downtown Detroit to attend concerts, eat and drink, take photographs and explore abandoned buildings.

I was born in Poland and like to think I have a unique perspective on life here in the states because of it.

I love meeting new people, learning new cultures, and in general just having an open mind.

I am passionate about traveling, photography, and learning. I spend the majority of my money on concerts and books, and the remainder probably on food.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a fantastic way to not only travel more affordably, but get a more real experience of the area by immersing yourself into the locals and culture. I love the friendly vibe of Couchsurfing, and hope to have more experiences through it.

In 2012, I hosted three wonderful guys traveling from Colorado. The three of us are still friends today, and keep in touch. I have not hosted since because my living situation makes that difficult, but I cannot wait to be able to host people again.
