CURRENT MISSION

Show the world to our children - Antoni and Nadzieja (Hope) :)

ABOUT ME

We have been married for more than 8 years. Traveling is our passion - for our "honeymoon" we went for over a year to South America. We also travelled in Asia and Africa.

In December 2012, on Christmas, our son Antoni was born. We decided not to leave our passion behind and show the world to him - so now we are traveling together :)In 2013 we went to Georgia and Armenia for 6 weeks and in 2014 we went to travel in Kazakhstan and Kyrgystan for almost 2 months.

In March 2016 our daughter Nadzieja (her name translates as "Hope" into Polish) came to this world and trip to Iran in 2017 will be her first journey abroad :)

When we are not traveling, we try to make most of our time in our beautiful city Gdynia. Karina works at school in an integration class with disabled children, and Marcin teaches English.
