Well, sometimes I smile, sometimes it rains.
My name is Patrycja. I live in Bialystok, in Poland. I am willing to show you around if you decided to visit my city and spread around a bit my positive energy despite every kind of rain.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think that it is hard to consider only one thing as amazing, it depends on the perspective of time and I also enjoy the little things.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can try to teach you Polish. It's quite difficult but just think positive :-D I also like doing art crafts, so I can teach you a bit techniques which I used to do. I can show around my city and teach you about my culture, traditions and a bit history.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share with you little stories about my country, introduce my culture, traditions, a bit history and of course language, as I am a Polish teacher. I also would love to bring you postcards as I i collect them and something sweet. Finally, I can also share a bit my positive energy.
