Aga is a Pole who felt in love with Lyon from the first sight! More then traveling, she loves exploring different cultures and differences & similarities between different nations. She has been traveling a bit and loves to be in the international environment. She has just moved to France, Lyon and started to learn a bit more about the French. Not having any experience with France whatsoever, not speaking any French as yet, she has been gaining many observations about the French lifestyle, places to visit in France and wanted to share them with others while starting to learn this beautiful yet so difficult language and slowly settling in in Lyon. She truly loves Lyon and that is whys J’adore Lyon has been created
