hii :)

my name is maja, and i'm a 20-year-old biomechanical engineering student living in wrocław, poland.

my friends would describe me as a nice and fun person to be around. this summer. to me, life is all about creating memories. i'm here to exchange culture and broaden my perspective on life.

i was born deaf and i'm wearing a cochlear implant to help me hear. being able to listen to music is something that i will cherish forever. i love reading books, visiting parks and museums, and having long conversations about anything. i'm all about staying past midnight, talking about life while listening to music and drinking wine

this year i was on the team of the annual wroclaw-based hitchhiking student project called AutoStopRace! take a look here:
