Description
Hi lovely host!
I'm Yanin from Argentina and I've been living in New Zealand for many years, before starting my travel journey.
Since, I´m traveling alone, the idea of staying for some months, with local people and meet their culture sounds amazing, and more if I can help in what is related with my skillls and profession.

I have lots of hobbies like writing poetry, taking photos, film, to do yoga or play a bit my ulkulele. I love nature, to explore around natural areas, hiking and the contact with our Mother Earth.

I’m enthusiastic, with a great sense of humor and open minded and I’ll be happy to experience workaway, to meet all of you and share conversations and life experiences .
Looking forward to hearing from you! :)
Yanin

I stayed here one month and a half, I had the chance to be in both centers, and in both centers I was with two or three more volunteers, which makes the experience more culturally interesting to meet others and fun.
... The experience was fascinating. I taught English & Spanish to kids and adults.
Kasia gives lots of freedom, and the house is… read more all for the volunteers, which allows lots of independence, after and before work. The house is big enough, with two floors and super comfortable, with a big living room, with T.V, Netflix, couch, printer, bicycles, lot of art stuff to paint in free times, etc. The private bedrooms, are also super spacious, with desk, wardrobe, quiet neighbourgh and huge garden. Kasia, is so wonderful that she allows to invite friends into the house too. What else can you ask for? It was more than I could expect.
This town is full of green areas & forests, which I super enjoyed while riding the bicycle and discovering the area, which has also many bars, mall, restaurants and small ice rink .
From the house until the train station, by bicycle it takes 20 minutes, and is very easy to reach it because is all the way with bike paths, but also there is a bus stop in front of the house :)). And, from the train station of this town, you can go to the center of Warsaw, which takes around 30 minutes and also directly to Krakow and takes around 2 hours.

Also, I stayed there during Christmas and New Year, and Kasia invited us for The Christmas night, we spend it all together with her family , with songs, boards games, delicious food… She tends to organize meetings or activities such as decorations of gingerbread man, which I super enjoyed, or for horse riding, for spend the afternoon in a park, etc.
I always felt comfortable speaking with Kasia, she is a super nice person. If I asked something about the lessons, she was always helpful with resources that are useful for the classes.

The lessons for children are more about after school activities, but all in English, which makes the work super fun, with games, arts ,etc. There are also online lessons here, but in general most of the time it was 3 hours of work per day, which gives plenty of time for other activities.
I recommend this workaway experience, it’s a nice place to stay long time, nice people, beautiful quiet town and the work is not heavy :))
Thanks a lot Kasia for this fascinating experience, and all the best!! Big hugs :))

Yanina was a very discreet presence in our family.
He has always tried to respect and satisfy our requests for help at home or with children.
She was very sensitive to respecting our privacy but we always shared meals together talking about our different cultures.

Sorry for my late feedback:)
I stayed with this beautiful family for three weeks, and I felt very comfortable, they’ve been super generous with me.
The work was very light, taking care and playing with Amos or cleaning a bit, and there were days without any work. So there was lots of free times, to go around, and they give me a bicycle for use.… read more
