ABOUT ME

WE CAN'T HOST AT THE MOMENT! Until the mid April we're in Israel

We are a couple with two sweet and wonderfully naughty kids (6 and 8 years old).
We love to travel (nothing original in here), specially across Balkans, where one can found not only great hospitality, but also true and positive craziness! We like fine arts, music (jazz, trip-hop, funk etc.). Ola loves to paint, she makes graphic design and engraving. Misza used to train judo, he likes fine arts as well and he loves to walk across the Europe.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Michał:

Every year with my friend we were walking from town to town by foot. We already have walked all Europe: from Gdansk at the Baltic coast to Crikvenica in Croatia. We were on our way to Asia: at 2009 we wanted to go from Beograd to Sofia - it would be be around 450 km. Unfortunately I had to wait for this trip to summer 2010. Twice there we extra guys with us: once Jasiek was able to walk only 60 km with us and then he gave up. Second time Lukasz walked with us 430 km without any preparation! You can see that this is a sport for everybody :)

During the Belgrade-Sofia trip I have walked with my brother Stasio. It was more-less 460km and on the last 24 hours we made 75km walk without sleeping. When we have reached the church of Alexander Nevski I have almost lost consciousness, so I can frankly say, that this was the most hardcore thing I have ever done. During summer 2011 we have walked with Stasio from Warsaw to the fantastic city of Lublin. Only 200km, but such a great views!

Ola and Michał:

The other amazing thing we have done as a family was living in Beijing for 2 years. This experience was unspeakable - we've realized how homogeneous western cultures are (comparing to Chinese one) ad how little one can say about the other country just from tourism.

Teach, Learn, Share

learning more than teaching

What I Can Share with Hosts

We're always open to cook with our guests! We love to cook and we love new recipes. If only our kids are not sick we would love to show you Warsaw, but of course we are super-relaxed if you want to see it on your own.
