She says that she is Polish by birth, U.S. by citizenship, and Hawaiian by choice. The owner of the only Polish travel agency in Hawaii was born in Nisko in 1951. As a 13-year-old girl, she moved with her family to the USA. They settled in Chicago, where Ms Jarnot finished high school, and then she started studies at the Faculty of Art of the University of Illinois. After she graduated, she left to Hawaii, the place which she loves most.
