Description
Hi ! There are 4 of us : mom - Aleksandra, dad - Wojciech, Asia - a daughter, almost 18 and Tomek the youngest one - 14. Plus 1 naughty border collie dog named Indi and 1 cat Bolek.
Workaway is one of the best discoveries, and we have done three workaway trips as volunteers so far and also have hosted three volunteers in our place.
We are a regular family: pre-school rush hours in the morning, teenage moods, laughter, a bit of sport, a bit of going out and a glass of wine in the evening.
