About Me

CURRENT MISSION

trying to manage my ideas wisely

ABOUT ME

HELLO EVERYBODY! I'm a dynamic, optimistic person with lots of interests. I live in London since 2010 and work as project manage, health coach and running coach. Obviously I enjoy travelling and meeting new people! I start to be less conservative about food (I used to be very afraid of trying new things :) And I want to dance!!!! And I want to play the piano again! And I want those looong nights with discussions and the next days when I'm so tired and can't get up to go to work ;) I want to find new layers of my personality, of me, by learning to see the world from different perspectives that I encounter when travelling, by learning other languages, by learning other people ... Mmmmmm.... So so so exciting !!!

PHILOSOPHY

I'm christian, catholic, try to follow christian morality. Generally I think it is and should be all about love.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Amazing Thing Done: 18 days long walking pilgrimage Gdynia - Częstochowa - for sure one of the very special experiences in my life.

My 3 weeks holidays in Argentina on my own. MMmmmmm! It was amazing indeed :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Definitely I can teach Polish, English, German, Piano Playing, Running. You can learn some optimistic attitude from me, as I'm very rarely being pesimistic.

I'd like to learn Spanish, French and Russian.

I enjoy sharing passions. When something makes a big impression on me, I know I will be even more happy about it, if I share the emotions with someone else and see that the other person also becomes enthusiastic about a certain thing.
