About Me

Hi, my name is Kamila and I’m the architecture student. I live in Łódź in the center of Poland. I really like to travel because I love to visit new places and see other type of architecture. My favorite thing to do on a trip is to visit all churches and art galleries that I have been learning during my classes. That helps me to remember them and it’s really satisfying when you can see something live that you have been learning about. I also really like to share my knowledge about them.

Hi! My name's Dominika, but my friends call me Miśka or Misha (Misza) :) I'm a 28 years old copywriter working remotely for almost 2 years. A few weeks ago I've decided that it's high time to start using this time as much as possible, so why not travel? I speak Polish (it's my superpower ;) ), English and French. In the past, I spent half of the year in Paris, during the Erasmus exchange. I'm a total foodie, dog-lover, cinema freak, and an open-minded soul :) I'd like to share my passions with other people from all around the world, and get to know new cultures :) Let's meet!
