About Me

ABOUT ME

I just like people. Some say that I have very specific specific sense of humor. Sometimes, the person that makes me laugh the most is myself. I love independent cinema. Flight of the conchords is the best show ever.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't complain too much. Don't be a douche.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A spontaneous road trip from Austin to Chicago (through New Mexico, Arizona, San Diego, LA and San Francisco) where we traveled +5,000 miles (8,000 km) in 11 days. OK, we cheated on the last part and took a plane from San Francisco to Chicago. However, we travelled +1,500 with... a dog .... it wasn't even our dog! ... and yes, we lost the dog for a bit hahahaha (yes, we found the dog later) - just ask me about it ;)

Also, broke-in to a public swimming pool at 3am.

Amazing places I've Seen: Sedona (Arizona); Upper Peninsula (Michigan); La Jolla; Highway #1 (California)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you to swear fluently in Polish language; also DOs and DON'TS when you visit Poland. I also know some cool spots in Austin.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can make a decent omelette, I may try to make pierogi (never tried though) or traditional Polish pork chops (been there; done that).
