OK, so I guess I'm pretty friendly, and straightforward person (in a nice, respectful way), who doesn't mind throwing a few epithets around, once a decent and mutual friendship has been established. Having rejected the 'bourgeois' standards of the middle class (thanks mom), I've decided to avoid the lifestyle of a 'professional' in favour of a 'make it on your own' artist, lifecoach, and online business owner. While I have enjoyed many years teaching at international schools around the world, I've recently started my own 'online business' , youtube channel, and resumed my once full time acting career. Umm... other than that... what else can I say? Pretty intelligent, quick with a joke, or to light up a smoke (trying to quit), jam on the guitar (badly), sing along. I don't take myself too seriously unless I have to). Mutual respect is a foundation for all my friendships.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've met a couple of coworkers, and acquaintances who've used it, offered their couches, and recommended it.
I just moved back to Poland, from China, and when I go auditioning for roles in Warsaw, I'd hate to spend what I earn on hotel fees.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Well, if you enjoy conversations about IDEAS, and do not take 'an attack' on your thoughts/beliefs as a personal attack on your humanity - then we could def. share some awesome conversations. "For all my stupidity, biases, and ignorance... I hold truth and free speech to be a tool, mechanism, and virtue of the highest regard" - as a former member of a Toronto-based Power Trio Rock Band of SuperHeroes (Antiheroes?) - my power was "Saying the wrong thing at the wrong time" - any takers.
