About Me

CURRENT MISSION

summer adventures in US

ABOUT ME

I love my music, i love to sing (singing on the buses and trains is required) and i love to surround myself with the magical atmosphere of it whenever and wherever i am.
During my jobs in coffeshops, i became absolutely addicted to coffee. I probably wouldn't feel alive if i didn't drink a cup or five, of well-prepared coffee.
And i love my books. What i like about travelling, is that often you can discover a super-cheap and full of interesting books small book shops or stands. (the one i recently found is in Poznan Central railway station). Up to this point i think i have more books than clothes).
And movies,movies,movies/TV-shows.
Trying to be a blogger/journalist/future writer , butfor now - not enough time to get it all together http://alicead.wordpress.com/.
This is going to be my last year in Poland, so i am trying to visit as much polish cities as possible untill i move somewhere west-forward. (just recently visited Szczecin,going to Wroclaw some time soon, and Gdansk is waiting for me.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a big fan of books. Huge! Lately i got hooked on fantasy genre, and Game of Thrones became kind of big part of my intellectual world!
Recently Jack London and Hemingway have a strong influence on me,as much as Tolkien and travel books especially by Wojciech Cejrowski or Bill Bryson
I've got the music in me and music is my life! I can feel it everywhere and it is always with me! Soul, jazz, rock,dusbstep are my favorite,as much as classical and pop music! Music is all around us and all we have to do is listen!
Movies and TV shows - i usually watch as much as possible,meaning every day hasn't passed without an episode of my favorite tv show starting with Charmed,Buffy,Eureka,Supernatural,Doctor Who,True Blood or Sherlock BBC,Haven,House,Being Erica or a good movie(e.g. Salmon fishing in Yemen, Argo, Some Like it Hot, Scent of a Woman, A midnight in Paris, Colombiana,People like US, and the list goes on and on.)
