Hello, I am an Artist based in Opole Voivoideship in Poland. I run an atelier, where I run art classes for children aged 3 to 12, but I have also worked with teenagers, trained them to get into art school or run art classes and art activities for adults. I have lived 14 years in Italy and have two kids, however for the past 13 years I have been living in my home country of Poland, where I know run my atelier. I have organised international exchange plain airs both in Italy and Poland. I have also run art classes for kids in other countries.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My daughter Adelaide added me to Couchsurfing, as we are about to embark on a five weeks journey to Australia. She received a scholarship for a summer school in Sydney. Despite the limited budget we have, we understand is a once in a lifetime opportunity to visit Oceania and we would like to see more places in Australia and stop for a couple of days in each, especially because my husband and I named our daughter like the city in Australia - Adelaide. However, we are eager to meet the culture, mentality and the people of Australia the most, therefore we would like to stay in houses of locals.
