I'm an outgoing person with an interest in politics and am interested in activism through art and community organizing. I am working on my Masters in Public Administration at the University of Cincinnati, my hometown. I'm the son of immigrants and love to travel for the purposes of seeing new environments and learning from others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am an extrovert who gains energy and inspiration from being around others, so Couchsurfing is a lot more appealing than stuffing myself into a cramped and dingy motel room.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to mostly hip-hop, folk, and alternative rock, but I could be caught jamming out to about anything. For some reason, I've watched Eurotrip about 20 times, even though it's a pretty cheesy flick. I am on a nonfiction reading binge but like to pick up a sci-fi book every now and then.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Run for public office! Also beating cancer was dope!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to juggle 3 objects, do a magic trick with a quarter or playing card, say a few words in Polish, use the Adobe Creative Suite, or a few soccer moves. I know how to drive a stick shift. I like listening - a lot - and am eager to hear any stories you are willing to share with me.

I am also very handy with diy projects around a house and can do basic electrical, plumbing, carpentry, etc. :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Smiles, laughter, a beer (or a few).
