Description

Hi there! 😊

I'm starting my journey with Workaway, something I’ve been putting off for a while. It's time to finally make my dream of traveling a reality! My previous travels, though small, gave me a glimpse of what true freedom feels like—the freedom of being present in the moment, being authentic, and connecting with others in meaningful ways.

People often see me as a calm, reliable person who listens well. I believe in honest exchange between hosts and volunteers, and I think it’s important to take time to build trust. Sometimes, I need a little time to get comfortable with new people, but once I do, I’m all in!

I'm a preschool teacher with over 10 years of experience working with young kids in a wonderful kindergarten in Kraków, Poland. During that time, I led many creative projects with my groups, but what I loved the most was our daily outdoor adventures—our preschool was close to the forest, so we spent a lot of time exploring nature!

In my free time, I love all things artistic—singing, playing music, painting, and dancing. I enjoy learning new creative skills, and I’ve tried macrame, pottery, and other crafts. I'm into physical activities like yoga, dancing, walking, or cycling are a form of meditation that helps me feel grounded and balanced.

I also worked as a teacher of Polish as a foreign language and can help you with some basic or advanced Polish skills. Plus, I play the ukulele and guitar, so if you’d like to learn a few chords or sing along, I’d be happy to teach you! Polish traditional folk music is included :)

I respect other people's space and adapt quickly to new environments. I'm eager to learn and focus on the tasks given to me. Transparent communication is important to me. I’m also working on improving my English, so I’m looking forward to practicing and learning more through interaction. Cultural exchange, folk music, tradition and language learning are both really important to me, and I’d love to learn how to cook as well!

I'm looking forward to contributing my time and energy to interesting projects, learning new skills, and having endless valuable conversations about everything. Thank you for reading, and I’m excited to see you all soon!
