my curiocity
For me, London has never just been a city of glass towers and busy commute routes—it is a living, breathing storybook. Every layer of stone, every narrow alleyway, and every quiet courtyard holds a chapter waiting to be told.
My journey here didn’t start with a guidebook; it started with a deep-rooted curiosity about how people live, build, and connect within the urban landscape. Before I became a guide, my background was rooted in teaching and coaching. I’ve always loved helping people see things from a new perspective, whether that’s uncovering the architectural quirks of a medieval street or piecing together the vibrant traditions of the Square Mile.
That passion eventually led me to formal training. Today, I am proud to be an official City of London Green Badge Guide (accredited by the Institute of Tourist Guiding) and a graduate of Open City's Golden Key Academy. These qualifications mean I know the capital inside and out, but my true love is sharing it in a way that feels personal, engaging, and alive.
Why curioCITY?
I created curioCITY because I wanted to offer something different from the standard, rushed sightseeing tour. I wanted walks that feel like an afternoon stroll with a knowledgeable friend—tours where we can slow down, look up at the details most people walk right past, and talk about the human stories behind the history.
Whether we are stepping inside the Guildhall Art Gallery to admire La Ghirlandata, exploring majestic royal landmarks with Firebird Tours, or discovering the hidden corners of the City, my goal is always the same: to help you look beneath the surface and fall a little bit in love with London’s incredible heritage.
my notebook
Beyond the guided walks, I've always had a deep personal passion for reading and writing. That love for words and historical exploration naturally spilled over, inspiring me to start my own blog—a digital notebook of my thoughts and explorations where I continue to unpack the stories, architecture, and hidden details of the city that endlessly fascinate me.
I can’t wait to share these streets, and these stories, with you.

my story
Grew up in the Polish countryside surrounded by family, dogs, and cats. In 1997, welcomed our first Siberian Husky, Wabigoon, sparking two decades of breeding 12 Huskies, founding an educational charity, traveling, and organizing annual public events and local museum exhibitions.
Born in Wrocław in the heart of Central Europe, known as the Meeting Place—a vibrant crossroads of cultures, languages, and backgrounds. It was here that I first learned English, earning my Bachelor’s Degree and sharing it as a teacher, before studying Tourism for my Master’s Degree and taking those first steps toward London.
Arrived in London in 2012 just before the Olympic Games, living across boroughs from west to east and working in Ealing, Oxford Street, Knightsbridge, and the City. Working as a Welcome Host at Tower Bridge sparked a deep, lasting fascination with the Square Mile's history that continues to inspire exploration today.
