Majored in Japanese studies, currently working as a translator and at the Embassy of Japan in Warsaw. Looking for a purpose in life.

I consider myself easy-going, open-minded and friendly, don't have any problems wiht talking about a wide variety of topics. I can be a bit shy and sometimes just like to be alone, but in general I enjoy the company of others.

Non-smoker with a minor form of OCD :P

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
Varies greatly and is heavily dependent on my mood, time, place, relations with others, weather and season :P It's hard for me to single out my favourite genre that I like, because the combination of the above-mentioned factors allows me to listen to basicly anything.
I love female opera-like voices, therefore I adore Nightwish, Evanescence, Within Temptation and Epica.
I also like ABBA, Sam Tsui, Adam Lambert, Barbra Streisand, Coldplay, the Chainsmokers, Dido, Ed Sheeran, Imagine Dragons, Indila, Oasis, the Birthday Massacre and Years & Years.
Some bands from my childhood to which I still have a lot of sentiment: Linkin Park, Red, Three Days Grace, 30 Seconds to Mars, Fall Out Boy and Thousand Foot Krutch.
I'm also a fan of Lady Gaga, Madonna, Taylor Swift and Britney Spears. :)
I like Polish band Łzy and singer Edyta Geppert, Japanese band Bump of Chicken, Chinese S.H.E. and Taiwanese 831.

Movies:
Big fan of Devil Wears Prada, Kokuhaku, Help, Schindler's List, Sweeney Todd, Rent, Gypsy, Chicago, Yentl, The Hours, All About Eve, The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, 12 Angry Man, Rebecca, Cabaret, Titanic and maaaaany more. ^^ Watching movies is one of my greatest passions, I'm madly in love with Meryl Streep, musicals and Team StarKid.

Books:
Agata Christie, J. K. Rowling, Tolkien. Currently I'm more into science books than fiction.
