About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find my own unique way, to understand what I want and what are my real aims. I want to travel a lot and meet creative and inspiring people. I want to develop myself and gather as much experience as possible.

ABOUT ME

I'm a sociable person - being with people and making new friendships gives me the most pleasure in my life. That's why I became a sociologist. And that's why I decided to study process oriented psychology.

I live with my two dogs and I'm a little crazy on them.

I co-founded a feminist organization in which we try to activate women in Warsaw.

I love kids, I used to work as a babysitter when I was a student - my dream is to run a "process oriented preschool" one day:)

I can't live without music. I sing and I used to dance modern ballet, I take singing and guitar lessons and I'm a member of a band (vocals and tambourin, hahaha) called Laura Palmer (we all love Twin Peaks).

Since last july I practice boxing. It's a great sport but also amazing way for women to gain confidence - also in a psychological aspect.

PHILOSOPHY

My fried ones asked me: What would you choose? Spending whole life with me on a desert island or spending whole life being single but on an island full of people. I always choose the second option.
