Trying to see a bit of the word not just from the guidebook/news/newspaper perspective from time to time. Would be nice to get some of yours too.

I am "long distance goal" type of person. Mixed intor-extravert, like probably most of us. If you can stand not-so-quiet house in a quiet neighborhood with my family: husband Alex, two kids: Zuza 10 and Leo 8 and me, you can drop by and stay in one of the children's' rooms squeezed between toys, books and a bit of other stuff.

In the era if "before the kids" I backpacked with my husband (not a husband than ;)) quite a bit and loved it. Than we had to get back to work and stuff for a while. Now as the kids grew we can start a bit backpacking again. Hopefully from time to time just two of us, probably sometimes with kids, and maybe sometimes solo. We'll see what life brings.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Thought one... Still on 'to be done" list I guess.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some Polish. Pretty tongue twisted. Maybe you need to know how to cook some polish food?

What I Can Share with Hosts

I hope at least some of my stories could interest you, or silence if you not the type of talking person.

You can share with me and my family a dinner and have a place to sleep once you come near by Warsaw.
