Overview
About Me
I am a calm and widely curious person. Polyglot and fascinated by the cultural diversity of the world. I travelled around the 5 continents always rediscovering myself and learning from new perspectives every person and every place represents. I am a good storyteller. I was born in Warsaw, grew up in Barcelona, connected to spirituality in India, and studied in Rio de Janeiro. Last year I moved to Ukraine to be closer to my people in times of struggle of fight for freedom. The upcoming November I will visit Tbilisi, Erbil and Cairo, I wish to explore the youth cultural scene, learn about their dreams and perspectives on the future, and have a look at the new paradigms appearing in the Middle East.
