  Description

  Hi there Workawayers ! My name is Jan and I was born in the UK but with a Polish father. I invested in our property about 18 years ago in the plan to create a mini hotel to provide activity breaks but then ended up part way through the renovations finding my IT business needing more of my time. I met my wife Dorota who was a local girl in the local town 15 years ago and we have been trying to bridge our language barrier ever since ! We have a 11 year old daughter together and 5 grown up chidren from previous marriages. We love our life here together and I have recently decided to retreat again from the business life and set about completing the dream to spend time helping visitors enjoy their time here. We are currently have a small Alpaca herd for the visitors in the area to come and spend time hiking with the animals. The home we leave in is an ex farmhouse that dates back to 1790 with lots of character.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  The area we live in is a very popular tourist region particularly for Polish , German and Czech visitors. They come to swieradow mainly for the beautiful mountain forests to hike and bike and take in the superb vcountryside. My wife grew up in the area and her family are all based in the region. Her father Antoni is a retired forester that headed up the plantation of the forests that now run for thousands of Acres in the mountains of the area. Any visitors will get the opportunity to learn about Polish life including the food , the culture and of course if they would taste the vodka ! We have alot of visitors from other parts of Poland and Germany so we always spend alot of time socilaizing and sharing stories. Since I am from England originally any workaway guest will be able to communicate in english while they work on their local language.
