About Me

I'm a rather busy type: working full time, taking French and German courses, doing sports and developing social media sites as a side hustle.

One of my interests is Asian art and culture. I've always dreamt of visiting Japan and I fulfilled this dream a couple of years ago :)

Of course I love travelling and can't wait to take my days off and head on to some soothing green land outside of Poland :) What I enjoy the most about travelling: nature, mountain hiking, city sightseeing, trying new cuisines and meeting inspiring people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitch-hiking in Iceland! And hiking 40km one day to reach Eyjafjallajökull volcano and then come back to the hostel :)

Reaching to the top of Mt Fuji! Great challenge because of the weather conditions.
