Discover Warsaw: Essential Tour for Beginners in Small Group
I hold a degree in History from the University of Warsaw and spent 13 years working as a flight attendant. This unique combination of academic background and global experience has shaped my perspective and deepened my appreciation for culture, storytelling, and human connection. Born and raised in Warsaw, I’m passionate about sharing my beloved city with you. A city that was almost completely destroyed during World War II, yet rebuilt with resilience and pride. Every corner holds a story of survival, memory, and hope, and I’d love to help you discover them.❤️
