One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living for 2 months in Sinaloa, Mexico with a Mexican family and working as a volunteer in a small community. Together with people from all over the world I was teaching kids and women about human rights, tolerance, multiculturalism, environment. Our main purpose was to show them how big and diverse the world is and to prove them that they are responsible for their future. I fell in love with this country, with the amazing people and the delicious food. I will definitely come back! I would love to repay, so if you're a Mexican, escribeme por favor!

Exploring Chichen Itza - one of the new seven world wonders [check my profile picture!]

Joining AIESEC - this organization has literally changed my life. If you're an AIESECer, don't hesitate to message me!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to speak, drink and swear Polish. I can show you perfect sarcasm and irony skills. Believe me , you won't get bored with my company.

I'd love to hear your story, to meet your culture and your definition of life.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my company, show you the beautiful Kraków and its magical places, have a beer or a hot chocolate, teach you Polish/German or even Silesian [Polish-German-Czech dialect]. I'm a terrible cook, so discovering the Polish cuisine might be a little difficult.

and most important - I can share one or two shots of vodka - which is a part of Polish culture!
