  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We are originally Polish and well travelled. We had lived in USA and UK before moving to Australia. We are very open minded and love meeting people from different backgrounds and cultures. Despite moving away from Poland 26 years ago we still ensure maintaining our cultural identity through language, food and traditions which we enjoy sharing with others.
