I am a high school graduate from Poland. I intend to study psychology in the future. I am fascinated by the human psyche. What I love about traveling is that I can meet many different wonderful people. I love to learn about new places and their culture. Traveling is my greatest passion.

Julia
I am very friendly and work well in a team. I am flexible and quick to solve problems. Thanks to volunteering in India, I have experience in farm work and housekeeping. I am very open to new experiences. I have worked many times on sailing semi-colonies for children through which I have experience in leisure time animation. I have a sea helmsman's patent which allows me to drive yachts up to 18 meters. Sailing has been my passion since childhood and has taught me to work hard and cooperate with people of all ages. I also hold a class B driver's license. In high school, I led many educational projects that taught me how to run social media and organize events. Also, every year I volunteer at a children's camp as a kitchen helper. In my free time I like to cook especially Asian cuisine.

What else ...
We are a couple of twisted people who love traveling, exploring new cultures and, above all, food. We are turned on by good movies, art and poetry. This year is a special year for us because we have set our sights on self-development. While volunteering in India we learned a beautiful philosophy of living every little moment, appreciating the beauty of everything around us. We are currently trying to develop our English language and are learning Russian and Julia Italian. In the past year, through travel, we discovered a new passion - running. This year in May we intend to run a half-marathon. We love animals and would very much like to work with sheep someday. We could be outdoors all the time so gardening is a pleasure for us. We like to take on new challenges and look forward to our next adventures.

Bob and Ian are amazing, kind, open-minded people. They taught us many things, showed us beautiful trails in the mountains, and took us to the sea. We always felt comfortable asking for help and asking questions.
