ABOUT ME

We are a couple that loves life as it is, with all its joyful moments and troubles. We've been travelling a lot and found enough reasons to settle down in Jelenia Góra that we consider our home now. We love getting familiar with new places and people; we love nature. I am an English and Montessori teacher, currently I teach English in Montessori pre-school. I love music and I sing traditional polish, ukrainian and russian songs. Raph is a clown and performer and he runs his own Red Suitcase theatre giving shows in various places in Poland and abroad. He also works with people who undergo mental problems.
We are parents of two sons 8 and 6 yrs old who are kind, cute, troubleless and world friendly little men.
