About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Having strangers over for dinner, bringing the world to our home.

ABOUT ME

We are a laidback easygoing family that enjoys the company of strangers.
Languages is central to us, our children are fluent in Swedish, Polish and English. We love to travel, to meet new people and cultures but don't have much time for that now since we are a family of five. Hosting couchsurfers is the next best thing.

PHILOSOPHY

"There was never any good old days, they are today - they are tomorrow
it's a stupid thing we say cursing tomorrow with sorrow"
Eugene Hutz - Gogol Bordello.
