About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Publish a book and run a marathon.

ABOUT ME

I live in Warsaw and I like this city a lot. But I love travelling and I try to go somewhere all the time. I like sports - mainly running and mountain hiking and cycling.

Someday I would like to live in a tiny village in the mountains, yet this is still to come, cause now I am a hard-working girl :) I work in a TV company, but totally behind the scenes and basically my job is website administration.

I enjoy long evenings with a book, meeting people and I suffer from lack of time.

My parents live in Ostersund in Sweden and I fly there as often as possible.
I love animals. For 12 years I have been practising horse-riding.

PHILOSOPHY

Soyons raisonnables, demandeons l'impossilble!

I'm rather a quiet person, yet I know my value. I think the world is not as rotten as people say. I try to find beauty every day and enjoy the sparks of happiness.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies of Tony Gatlif. And recently: Your sister's sister, The Begginers, Wino Truskawkowe.
My beloved book is One Hundred Years of Solitde by Marquez. I read it at least once a year :)
I like new Polish prose - Olga Tokarczuk, Andrzej Stasiuk, Jacek Dehnel, Paweł Huelle... I like also Stieg Larsson and Camilla Lackberg.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The recent one! Last summer I tried sky diving for the VERY FIRST time. 4000 meters down, 50 seconds of freefalling! Amazing!
I also climbed the most difficult path in Tatra mountains and climbed the highest peak in Poland - Rysy.
