I am of mixed Japanese and Polish heritage; my parents met in France, where they lived for several years before settling in Warsaw, Poland, where I grew up. While I’ve always appreciated Warsaw’s vibrant culture, I find the city too crowded and fast-paced, as people constantly seem to be in a hurry. I’ve always preferred quiet, peace, and natural surroundings.

From a young age, sports have been a central part of my life: I began with skiing and windsurfing, later moving into kitesurfing, snowboarding, and most recently, climbing. Academically, I completed a bachelor's degree in Chemistry and then a master’s in Big Data. Currently, I run my own online school, offering courses in mathematics, chemistry, and physics. Alongside this, my fiancé and I operate a kitesurfing school on the Hel Peninsula, allowing us to split our year between the sea and the mountains, where we also work as instructors and manage a ski school.

My last travels took me to Sweden, where I cared for a French bulldog through the Trusted House Sitter website, and to Iceland, where I worked in a small café on the island’s western coast. Currently, we are renting an apartment in Wrocław (Breslau) as we explore the possibility of a more settled lifestyle—but we’ll see where the journey leads.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on the Couchsurfing website to keep my English sharp and continue practicing it, even when I cannot travel. This platform allows me to connect with people worldwide, broaden my horizons, and keep learning!

Music, Movies, and Books

Lately, I’ve been really into Eminem's music, especially after my fiancé introduced me to the film *8 Mile* (surprisingly, I had never seen it before). I’m fascinated by Eminem's life story and his incredible talent in rap, especially given his record-breaking achievements, including 15 Grammy nominations and an Oscar as the first rapper to win one.

On the TV side, I’ve recently been watching * Bridgerton*. I know it may seem like an unexpected choice, but I genuinely enjoy the series, as well as the book series it’s based on.

I’ve never really had absolute “ favourite”—whether it’s a colour, song, or artist. But I enjoy discovering new things that resonate with me along the way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I live life on my terms and have never followed the path my parents or friends envisioned for me. I’m the “black sheep” of the family, and they often don’t understand my choices or lifestyle. I’ve built my own business, allowing me to work remotely and enjoy a level of freedom that not everyone has.

Teach, Learn, Share

What can I share with you? A welcoming space in my apartment, a guided tour around the city, and a glimpse into life in Poland. We can talk about almost anything—though I generally steer clear of topics like religion and politics if possible. I’d love to learn more about your culture and the country you’re from, and perhaps we could even prepare a meal together, sharing our favourite dishes and traditions :))
