CURRENT VISION
Bogna: My vision is to empower women, create intuitive leadership and be a healer of human souls and human bodies. I also want to empower people to discover their own stars.
Abdi: My vision is to raise a generation of nice people.
-------------------
Me (Bogna) and my partner (Abdi) are an intercultural couple. He is born British, coming from Bengali family and I am Polish. We have been together for 7 years, married for 1 year, and have lived in that time in London, UK and then in Poland and now again in London.
Bogna is a warm-hearted woman and an Alchemist with so many dreams to make come true that she's busy most of the time with her creations! She helps people through her travel blog: www.boogieplanet.com and aspires to be a superconscious photographer. She used to work on a cruise ship as a photographer. She hitchhiked through a lot of countries, including Australia, USA and a lot of Europe.
Abdi is a teacher (originally maths, then special needs, then English) and he dreams to be an author. He enjoys cooking, long walks and running.

PHILOSOPHY
"Unless you make the unconscious conscious it will direct your life and you will call it fate." - Carl Gustav Jung
"I should like to travel for my whole life if I only could borrow another one to spend at home" - William Blake
"Well you can see only by heart, the most important is invisible for eyes" - A. de Saint Exupery (am not too sure of spelling)
"Lets hurry up to love people, they go away so fast"("Spieszmy sie kochac ludzi, tak szybko odchodza") - ks.Jan Twardowski

"Perform and carry yourself in a way so honourable as to leave an indelible impression upon anybody who crosses your path, even if it's only once"
-Joe DiMaggio

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skydiving; sunrise in Portugal when I entered it for my first time; the stars in Yosemite NP; hitchhiked around Australia; went through individuation process in meditation which was re-living my childhood and beliefs I created from the age of 0-4; Vipassana 10 day meditation retreat in silence;

Teach, Learn, Share

Languages: Bogna is willing to improve her Spanish/Portuguese/German and can teach some Polish or English; Abdi is an English native speaker and a teacher (originally maths teacher) so if you need some language practice he`s perfect for that!
Bogna is a photographer, therefore she could share maybe some of her photography as well as travel experiences. She can bake delicious cakes and pastries, you`d love them!! And Abdi can cook very well.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Respect, kindness and some good laughs. Our mindfulness practice. If you would like to learn anything about us or our culture - just ask!
