About Me

My wife and I are a couple from Poland in mid-thirties. We work as full-time freelance translators, and have been enjoying this career path pretty much :)
Few years ago I decided to start learning Chinese, since I consider this an enormous intellectual challenge, and hope that at some point in the future this time (and money) investment will somehow pay for itself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We are looking for someone in Xiamen willing to help us in finding a flat to rent, after we arrive there in the beginning of September 2015. We will stay there till June/July 2016. In exchange for such help, we can offer our company, cultural exchange experience, and a chance to practice English/Polish ;)

Interests
