Description

We're a couple & close friends for what feels like multiple lifetimes, who have shared this life journey for ten incredible years. In a bold move, we've decided to break our routine and embark on a half year long odyssey. Starting on October 10, 2023, our journey starts in Poland, setting our sights on Budapest. From there, we'll traverse the Balkans en route to the mystical land of Iran. Further our journey takes flight on November 24th from Shiraz to our next destination, the enchanting shores of Phuket, Thailand. As the months unfurl before us, hopefully we'll immerse ourselves in the enchantment of Laos, Vietnam, and Bali.

We're embarking on this adventure with a mix of thrill, enthusiasm and curiosity. We're charting a course guided by intuition, ready to embrace the unknown. Our mission is simple: to connect with locals and fellow travelers, absorb new languages and skills, and immerse ourselves in diverse cultures and lifestyles. Along the way, we hope to unravel our unique life rhythm and glean insights into our future ambitions and aspirations. We're eager to get to know you, share moments, engage in conversation, and extend a helping hand. We'd be incredibly grateful for occasional shelter or even the opportunity to do some laundry. :)

We both speak fluent English, love film & literature, enjoy preparing and relishing good food, savoring coffee in countless ways, and are eager to learn new things like craftsmanship and carpentry. We would be happy to take care of your animals or kids. We are open to any new tasks and enjoy helping out with household chores and garden care. Occasionally we both delve into magick as well.

Hope to meet you soon.

More details about my language interests
Jan was a teacher for two years, during which he thought Mathematics and Economics in English language. During his studies and in spare time, he also gave classes to individual students of English. Curious as we are, we would love to learn more about the local cultures, as well as customs and, of course, languages.

More details about your skills

Gosia: While she used to lean more towards an anarchist and artist lifestyle, for the past 1.5 years she's been the team and project manager for a 40-person team at a foundation that helps refugees and persons affected by migration crisis. In this role, she's discovered the value of planning, frameworks, and procedures while ensuring her team doesn't get lost in their complexities. On a daily basis, she is more of an introverted type of person, which makes her a good listener. She'd be happy to share her life journey with you, listen to yours, or simply spend time with you sitting with a cup of coffee. She enjoys accompanying children and has a gift for soothing infants. If you need help with small or general cleaning, renovations, decluttering, or organizing your space for coziness and functionality, she can be a great asset. She has a knack for quickly visualizing where things should go and how they should be arranged for seamless functionality. She's a not-so-bad and experienced cook, especially of vegan food.

Jan: He's an IT professional by day, so if you want to learn about the modern world of technology, AI, programming, or if you need specific solutions to improve your daily life or business, he'll gladly help in any way possible . He's a skilled and insightful advisor who can pinpoint the root of problems and guide you through discussions to explore your thoughts and feelings. He can help you create a business plan or conduct coaching sessions. Beyond that, Jan is a friendly, sociable person who loves animals, especially dogs. He's a great companion for walks and conversations, and he enjoys engaging in deep, lengthy discussions on a wide range of topics. He loves reading, so if you'd like, he can read you poems or books and transport you to the realms of abstraction, symbols, imagination, and relaxation. Jan also is a huge fan of cinema. He is a proficient driver, and is handy with tasks like chopping wood, simple renovations and cleaning. His empathy makes him excellent with children and taking care of elderly people. He can create a sense of security, acceptance, and importance for them. His latest passion is Brazilian jiu jitsu, and he's dedicated to continuing his training even during our journey.
