About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn to play ukulele!

ABOUT ME

Vegan, minimalist, tea and coffee addicted, ukulele player (very beginner), ashtanga yoga practitioner (THE VERY beginner), mountains lover, handmade stuff lover

I believe in kindness, education, respect and understanding. I think that even one person can have an impact on the other's lifes and our planet so I try to change some of my bad habits. I also believe that everything in our life happens for some reason and you can learn something from every person that you meet.

I can't stand disrespect, dishonesty, manipulation and people who think there's only one way of living - theirs. And I don't waste my time to argue with them.

I love travelling, hitchhiking, hiking, long walks, to be surrounded by nature. I try to live more eco and zero/less waste.

PHILOSOPHY

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain

Teach, Learn, Share

I like baking and cooking so we can prepare something together. I also can teach you some Polish words if you want :) tell you about my travels and give some hitchhikings tips if you've never tried it before. Share stories and experience.
I just started playing ukulele but please don't ask me to play anything cause I will be embarrassed 😅 when I know some songs, I could probably teach you but for now I need more practise
