Born and raised in Poland, I have recently made Portugal my home, bringing with me over 20 years of experience in coordinating international projects and working with people from diverse cultural backgrounds. Throughout my professional career, I have been involved in organising international programmes, cultural visits and outdoor activities, combining strong organisational skills with a genuine interest in people and their experiences. Having travelled extensively across Europe, I have developed a particular appreciation for active tourism, cycling, hiking and swimming. My personal adventures include walking the Camino de Santiago from Porto and taking part in numerous multi-day cycling trips. I am especially drawn to discovering the authentic character of a destination – its local cuisine and gastronomy, the atmosphere and social dynamics of its communities, and the everyday lives of local people. I value experiences that go beyond conventional tourism, allowing me to explore lesser-known places, connect with local culture and gain a deeper understanding of the places I visit.
