I grew up behind the Iron Curtain and have experienced marshal law in my life. During those days I was a scout boy and later a scout leader. In my late 20's I emigrated along with my family to Australia where I spent 8 years studying and working. On our return to Poland my wife and I set up a business in the field of education.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have brought up two fabulous open minded daughters who can't stay serious fro more than a minute when they get together!

I have also completed a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostella (Spain) in the company of 2 idiots (my very good friends) who didn't want to spend more than 2 euros a day.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am passionate about music. I play the guitar and sing a variety of songs dating back to the 60's and 70's. During my previous travels we have often enjoyed afternoons hanging out, singing old hits and talking about current affairs.

My wife is an amazing cook and is sure to give you a taste of some traditional Polish dishes, as well some not so traditional ones.
