So belly up to the bar and continue on with Dave, Mel and Kuba for some good ole Polish fun and frivolity!

Ep 5 Part 1 “And The Winner is Poland!” This interview is part 1 of a 2 part series, where Dave and Mel welcome Jakub Maziarzyk aka Kuba Tygrysek, a Poland resident, previous employee of the Disney Magic Cruise Ship, world traveler and now is self-employed with his family-run business. We discuss Poland’s history, culture and it’s embrace with the US. We playfully banter about the world’s ignorance of other countries, capitals and financial status. So kick back, grab a beverage and come along to Poland with Dave and Melina on Give It a Go!
