My name is Misia, I was born in Poland but I consider myself more of a global citizen :) I love adventures, traveling and meeting new people. That's why like learning foreign languages.

Chris is French, he loves sports and nature, if you lose him on the way that's probably because he found an interesting plant to observe! He gratulated in project management and works in Payroll.

We have 2 girls -Emma born in May 2019 and Mathilda in December 2022. Emma after getting to know a bit of her both home countries, visited 4 continents by the age of 8 months :) she is a cool and cheerful kid, very easy to travel with. Mathilda went to France at age of 1 month and Mexico at 3 months. Between 5,5 and 9 months of age she travelled around the world with her crazy parents and 4yo sister.

PHILOSOPHY

"I am the passenger.. and I ride and I ride and I ride"

"Who Dares Wins"

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

I have been on CS for over 15 years already and have shown it to Chris when we met. Ever since we have been hosted many times on 5 different continents from US, UK or Iceland to Ethiopia, Vietnam, Japan to New Zeland and we love when locals show us around. That's the best way of travelling for us.
