CURRENT MISSION

Gaining priceless memories while meeting interesting people, sharing ideas, and exploring the world.

ABOUT ME

Well, I guess the transatlantic winds have thrown me all over the world. After growing up in Eastern Europe, where until the age of 14, I only spoke Polish, I flew to California and learned English. In California, I spent 2 years in Bay Area, San Francisco, then the winds picked me up again and swung me south to a warmer place called Orange County. I lived in Irvine for 3 years and finished the last 3 years of high school there, however since the sense of adventure was not dying, I waited for the winds again and moved to San Francisco for college. After 2 years in San Francisco, the winds picked up again and I'm now in Germany, learning German and having the time of my life. After all of that I'm like a bundle of Poland, wrapped in some California sun thrown in Germany.

PHILOSOPHY
