More details about my language interests
Since I started travelling as a kid with my parents I learned about the value of knowing and speaking foreign languages. The ability to communicate and connect abroad gives many opportunities and opens many doors. Throughout the years, I studied several languages, lived in different countries, and made many friends. I worked and taught in Polish, English and some German and Dutch. I would like to share my knowledge, passion and experiences.

What else ...
I finished high school in Poland and at 18 moved to the Netherlands to pursue a double Bachelor's in International Food Business. In the meantime, I did a couple of internships and jobs in the Netherlands, Germany and Poland. I am planning to do a master's degree but still looking for a perfect fit for my interests.

I have traveled since I remember, starting with family trips, then volunteering experiences and solo travels, and with friends. I visited most countries in Europe and some Canada, north of Africa and some islands around. I would love to visit more places, learn about other cultures, food, and languages, make friends, and memories and gain new skills.

Kasia was a wonderful guest. There is something her that we really enjoyed. She's grounded and true to herself. She's honest and straightforward. You can give her any task and she'll step up, take responsibility, and get it done - supporting others along as needed. She combines a strong work ethic with great common sense which makes her a pleasure… read more

I spent 2,5 months with the family between September and November 2022. And to put it in just a few words, it totally met my expectations. I met the whole family of 5 and a lot of workawayers – over 13 during my whole stay. I made amazing friendships with some of them and got to island hop with a group of friends I made there. All the information… read more on Steve’s profile and the number of additional links he shares with all future guests give you a great overview of how life in Hawaii will look like.
Steve has a strong desire to be a mentor and he enjoys teaching and sharing. He is very open to discussion and exchanging feedback. He likes to talk and spend time with his guests. He is very accommodating to guests’ requests and work preferences. Whether it was him choosing the right people to stay together or the type of people that applied for this workaway, it was a great fit of personalities that went really well together. You need to remember to set your boundaries and not be afraid to communicate openly since it’s a community vibe lifestyle.
The location is pretty remote so transport is not super easy but there are couple bikes to use and Steve is happy to take you anywhere he goes. He helps to get to the beach and can pick you up on the way. It is handy to have a car when you stay there – some of the guests that stayed during the same time bought one and it gave us a lot of freedom to drive around. He can also give you tips on how to surf and provide you with different surfboards!
The preference for long-term guests is understandable as it takes time to bond with kids, Steve and other workawayers. During the stay, I got to work on many different tasks including organizing space, cleaning, cooking, house chores, painting, and hemming. There is space for plenty more activities with kids and without. At Steve’s home, you can also find different instruments (guitars, ukuleles and keyboard piano), art supplies, countless books and a sewing machine.
Definitely join this workaway if you love quality family time, eating and hanging out together, becoming an older brother or sister to Steve’s kids, and spending time on the beach and in nature. If you are open-minded, drama-free, mature and assertive you are definitely going to fit in.
Even though we went through a lot during the stay I am beyond grateful for this opportunity and I feel blessed for having become a part of the family. I got to spend my first American Halloween and thanksgiving day with the community that Steve built in Kauai and I can’t wait to meet them all again one day.
