CURRENT MISSION

looking around, taking my time and my notes. Profesionally: psycholinguist, PhD student investigating bilingualism

ABOUT ME

I'm a careful observer, strongly respecting privacy, beliefs and attitudes of other people. I love cats, poetry, dark chocolate, early Renaissance paintings and travelling. Professionally I'm a psycholinguists fascinated with the phenomenon of bilingualism. As a PhD student I spend most of my time at the uni, and apart from that I teach English, work with children, practice yoga and bellydance. I love chatting, talking and discussing things & travelling and meeting new people – for they always give me a chance to look at the world from new perspectives.
