About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see the world, however trivial it may sound...

ABOUT ME

It is difficult to describe a person in a few words, but I'm a crazy (sometimes too crazy, if it's possible) girl from Poland who's trying to visit all of the continents by the time I'm 30, who enjoys a good book, a good company and a good meal - not necesarily in this order;)

PHILOSOPHY

As a great philosopher, Truman Capote, once said : "Do not take life too seriously, you'll never get out of it alive". I'm still learning how to do that;)
