Description
Hi! I'm Franciszek, a language, culture and music enthusiast. I love to learn foreign languages (I'm currently learning German and Czech), compose and play music. Since I graduated from high school, I'd love to travel across Europe and meet exciting new people. I find inspiration in new places and I want to use travelling as a resource to discovering new life possibilities and experiences.
Hello! I'm Michalina and as a horse rider, cat owner and a stroller I love to spend time in nature. At the same time I enjoy exploring cities while getting to know their specific dynamics and little secret spots that contribute to the general experience and impressions of a given place. Creating memories with new people and different challenges has become my lifetime goal so I look forward to get involved in some work project thanks to this platform.

More details about my language interests
Franciszek taught English to Swedish and Congolese exchange students. Michalina taught French to adults. We both were in a bilingual class in high school, with French as a leading language. We met a lot of wonderful teachers there. We both are learning foreign languages at the moment - Franciszek's learning German and Spanish, and Michalina is learning Italian, so we are absolutely conscious about the difficulties of learning a language. We are more than happy to help with that and provide you with tips to make the learning process much easier and more enjoyable.

More details about your skills
We are a couple of young travelers, freshly graduated from high school in Warsaw. We are looking forward to studying in France next year. We are fascinated by history, culture, cuisine around the world and foreign languages. We both speak Polish, English and French fluently. We are also learning German, Spanish and Italian. We both taught Polish and English in the past. We love to cook and we are used to doing chores around the house. We love to read, our favorite authors are Marquez, Eco and Camus. We share a great love for animals, especially for cats, which we both own - due to one cat's sickness, we are able to even get and IV for a cat or take care of him while they are sick. We both have taken part in national contests of history, French and history of art - we are keen on chatting or teaching those matters. I (Franciszek) am a musician - I play guitar and bass, and I write my own songs - I can gladly teach you these skills, since I've done it in the past :). Michalina is a great cook, mostly interested in Asian, Italian and Greek cuisine. Aside from that, she is a horse rider, enthusiastic to potentially sharing her experience.

20 & 20
What else ...
We love to play board games and we train a lot. We like to play team sports, but also we go to the gym and exercise at home. We adore long walks, regardless of the weather. Sometimes we choose to spend time riding city bikes to explore new towns. We are fascinated by travelling, especially to Western (France, Italy, Spain) and Central (Germany, Czechia, Poland, Denmark) Europe. We are rather self-sufficient - aside from food, some sleep and the ability to talk with wonderful people we don't really need too much.

We very much enjoyed having Micha and Francis stay with us. They are a lovely couple. First, they are enthusiastic and impressive eaters! Second, they are great conversationalists, perfect French and English, very bright and well-read. And third, they tackled and completed all the jobs we gave them: from raking leaves to weeding; from digging and… read more

We stayed for almost two weeks at Míša and Stefan's house. We had a wonderful time together, they were very communicative about the work, Míša proposed numerous activities to do in the region during our free time, and, what we found very interesting, they weren't only big cities and classic tourist attractions, but also things that really kept us… read more

Thomas, Kirsten and Hannah were the most wonderful people we could hope for. We spend almost two months together and even though they were usually busy with their work during the week, we still managed to spend some wonderful moments, dinners etc together.

Michalina und Francizek waren zweimal für je 4 Wochen bei uns. Und was soll ich sagen, es war eine wirklich klasse Zeit. Beide sind wunderbare, freundliche, hilfsbereite und zuverlässige Personen. Die Zeit mit ihnen zu verbringen hat viel Spaß gemacht und war an vielen Stellen sehr lehrreich. Mit Francizek konnte man sich wunderbar über Literatur… read more und viele weitere Themen austauschen.

Es machte Freude, Michalina zuzuhören, wenn sie von ihrer Heimat und ihrem Zuhause erzählte. Auch der Austausch mit ihr über das Kochen und ihre Reisen war sehr interessant. Und wenn die beiden gemeinsam gekocht haben, konnte man nicht mit dem Essen aufhören, so lecker hat alles gescheckt. Viele gemeinsame Abende mit angeregten Gesprächen durften wir mit ihnen gemeinsam verbringen.

Michalina und Francizek waren eine große Hilfe im Haus und Garten. Und was die beiden an Arbeit gemacht haben, war danach immer hervorragend. Sie haben Hecken geschnitten, den Boden für eine neue Aussaat vorbereitet, gepflanzt und geerntet. Holz gesägt und gestapelt und vieles mehr.

Jederzeit sind diese beiden jungen Menschen wieder in unserem Haus willkommen. Besten Dank für die wunderschöne Zeit mit Euch. Wir wünschen Euch nur das Beste auf Eurem weiteren Weg.

Herzliche Grüße von Kirsten, Hannah und Thomas

Michalina and Francizek were with us twice for 4 weeks each. And what can I say, it was a really great time. Both are wonderful, friendly, helpful and reliable people. Spending time with them was a lot of fun and very educational in many places. With Francizek you could exchange wonderful ideas about literature and many other topics. It was a pleasure to listen to Michalina when she talked about her homeland and her home. The exchange with her about cooking and her travels was also very interesting. And when the two cooked together, you couldn't stop eating, everything was so delicious. We were able to spend many evenings together with them with stimulating conversations.

Michalina and Francizek were a great help in the house and garden. And the work the two of them did was always excellent afterwards. They trimmed hedges, prepared the ground for new sowing, planted and harvested. Sawed and stacked wood and much more.

These two young people are always welcome back in our house. Thank you very much for the wonderful time with you. We wish you all the best for the future.

Warm regards from Kirsten, Hannah and Thomas
