ABOUT ME
I'm Alex! I'm a student and son to 2 wonderful Polish immigrants. My home is in Ottawa, Canada, although it has been quite a while since I have set foot there.

I'm an enthusiastic and experienced traveller who loves to lose himself in new places and find the nifty hidden treasures others might not know about. My reason for travelling is to experience different cultures and learn from them. I'm quite independent, but love to spend time with my hosts as well to get to know them better.

I'm an absolute fanatic when it comes to trying new foods and I'll likely be probing you for the best food in the area :p

Lolita - Vladimir Nabokov
Catch 22 - Joseph Heller (Picked this one up and put it down so many times I'm embarrassed to count!)
The Count of Monte Cristo - Alexandre Dumas
