About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to start learning german ;)

ABOUT ME

I am from Wroclaw, Poland, living and working now in Hamburg. Because i like mountains so much (the smaller and the bigger ones) i found it difficult to live in the second largest port in Europe but I am getting used to it :)
That time is behind me, now i am in Krakow :)
I like spending time outside and active in anyway, it might be just walking/cycling around and finding place that i've never been to where i can get lost, having day/weekend trip, visiting friends, going for a concert, exhibition, cinema, beer, ...
I love eating new foods, listening to music, drinking coffe in a nice, cosy, hidden coffehouses, watching movies and meeting new people.

PHILOSOPHY

to move beyond my comfort zone

trying to follow:

"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 harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. "
