What inspired you to work for English Wizards?
I'm really happy to meet new people, get to know them, and help them as much as I can. I also wanted to gain experiences that I could use for my university studies. I'm pursuing a bachelor's degree in English Philology, and I have only 1 year left!
What is your favorite part of your job?
My favourite part of the job is the contact and interactions with people. Getting to know who they are, their travel stories, and why they chose Poland is exciting. As a young person, it really widens my perspectives and ideas on how I can grow as a person, appreciate more of what I already have here, and what others travel here for.

How do you use your education and international background in your current role?
As I have studied English Philology for 2 years now, I have managed to raise my ability to speak freely in English, which is crucial for my contact with foreigners and supporting them. I have always tried to go above the basic education provided in schools regarding learning new languages, which feels really rewarding now that I can use it for work and to help others.
What advice would you tell your pre-travel self?
If I could give advice to my pre-travel self, I would say to embrace every opportunity to interact with new people and immerse yourself in different cultures. Building genuine connections and understanding the diverse backgrounds and stories of the people you meet will not only enrich your travel experience but also broaden your perspectives.
Additionally, don't hesitate to step out of your comfort zone and go beyond the basics of what you learned in school. The more effort you put into learning and using the local language, the more rewarding and fulfilling your journey will be. Lastly, appreciate the journey as much as the destination, and be open to the personal growth that comes with every new experience.

Why is it important for people to travel abroad and experience new cultures?
Traveling abroad and experiencing new cultures is incredibly important for personal growth and development. It allows individuals to broaden their perspectives, gain a deeper understanding of diverse ways of life, and appreciate the richness of different cultures. Interacting with people from various backgrounds helps build empathy, communication skills, and adaptability.
For example, by engaging with our community of Wizards in Poland, participants can share and learn from each other's experiences, fostering a sense of belonging and mutual support.

Why do you think learning a new language is important?
Learning a new language is important for several reasons. It enhances communication skills and allows individuals to connect more deeply with people from different cultures. Language proficiency is crucial in providing support to foreigners and facilitating their smooth transition to a new country.
It also broadens perspectives and opens up opportunities for personal and professional growth. Mastering a new language goes beyond basic education and allows for a richer, more immersive experience in a new culture, ultimately leading to greater appreciation and understanding of diverse ways of life.
What does meaningful travel mean to you?
Meaningful travel, to me, is about immersing oneself in new cultures, connecting with people, and gaining a deeper understanding of different ways of life. It involves stepping out of your comfort zone to embrace new experiences and perspectives. Through meaningful travel, you can learn valuable skills, such as adapting to different environments and improving language proficiency, which are essential for personal and professional growth.
Additionally, meaningful travel fosters empathy and appreciation for what you have, as well as for the unique attributes of the places you visit. It’s about creating genuine connections and memories that enrich your life and contribute to your development as an individual.
