About Me

ABOUT ME

It all began in my family. My grandma was very open and apart from a big family she had friends all over. One of her 'guests' came back after years as President of Mali calling her "mom"... I've started travelling with my parents and learning languages (CAE and Mittelstuffe certificates). When I was 17 I was on a language course in London (went back 4 times already - I LOVE THAT CITY!). Then, at the University, I hosted trainees that came to Poland and organized trips for them. [I've also attended a pilot/tourguide course but never finished with an exam] After that I went on a traineeship myself - Prague. In Prague I met a friend who helped me get to the US. I worked in Florida as an au-pair for 7 months. When I came back I've started my own family and now I'm a mother of two little girls (April 2007 and November 2008). As a mother who is also short of money I can't travel that much so I thought I could host... Did I mention my nickname/short name in Polish is ASIA?? Isn't that amazing? ;-)
