Marta
We are a couple in our mid-thirties who have a 7-year-old son and a beautiful Bernedoodle pooch. We are immigrants who came to Canada in the 80s and come from Polish and Croatian backgrounds. We absolutely love to travel and make it our goal to explore 1 to 2 unique places a year. We aren't your typical travelers in the sense that we like to stay in 5-star resorts and stick to the popular sights. We love to explore off of the beaten paths and typically stay and eat where locals live and dine. We love diving into the unique cultures when we travel and showing the beauties of the world to our very curious little boy. Help us achieve our traveling goal and enjoy staying at our beautiful home 1-hour drive from the Rockies.
