I remember being a guest in a polish family on Christmas 1989.

We brought oranges from Italy for the trip. We didn't think it was going to be a great gift for them. They hadn't managed to get oranges that year.

It was literally another world for us 18 years old naive kids from a western country.

A love story with Poland started that day, which brought me to endless travels around the country and learning the language.

I never needed to stay in a Hotel. Always at friends.

Most welcoming people on earth.




If I had unlimited time I'd love to learn Polish. It just sounds like the pretties slavic language in my opinion. Russian is like spanish, whereas Polish is like French to me.
