People call me OIa, that's the short version for Aleksandra in Poland where I am from (it's a little bizarre, I know, especially for Spaniards, but Alex is ok as well (: ).

I am living in London now as I found changing places in my life really inspiring and motivating for my personal development. That's important since I work as an architect, making up the ideas and new sketches all the time. I am a spiritual person with eagerness to help that's why I am considering social aspect of architecture and voluntary works around the world as a way of life. I was always around universe and its mysteries, hoping to understand, therefore all my childhood, I wanted to become an astronaut.

I am flexitarian! (eating meat when I feel like)

hope to meet you all soon! 🌸
