Overview
About Me
I am the mother of two (15 year old girl and 4 year old boy), staying at home mum. I am married to Quentin who came to live in Poland with me from London over 16 years ago. I am open minded and like meeting new people and experiencing foreign cultures. That truly fascinates me and I end up reading a lot about the countries that I fell in love with. We have 2 pets at home - 13,5 year old labrador and 8 year old black cat. We live outside of Cracow . I enjoy baking and host .
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
When I travel conventionally I always feel like I wouldn't mind peeking into the lives of the natives. Not to be a tourist but the part of the neighborhood. So the idea of coachsurfing seems to give me that oportunity. I also want to show my kids how different people are but similar at the same time . Love hosting others and share my home, even if it is my own family . My home is not perfect but I like business around me and so do my kids.
