I'm a Christmas kid, born in 1982 :). I left my hometown Warsaw during my last year of studies many years ago for a place that my heart pounded strongly for - Scandinavia. Karlstad became my new home and I've been living here ever since (with a short period of working in Norway), with my boyfriend. I've been studying a variety of culture and language related subjects at KAU, with my main focus being theory and practice of film. I'm currently working as a personal care assistant, helping disabled people.

To say that I'm crazy about music is an understatement. I live for concerts and I love travelling to different countries following the band or artist that I'm a fan of. Always trying to get that first row spot and good concert pictures. I love meeting other fans or concert goers!

My biggest musical passion is The Beatles and Paul McCartney is somewhat my personal god. Inspired by him I became a lacto-ovo vegetarian. My heart beats mainly in the rhythm of broadly understood rock and metal music, but also folk, blues, synthpop and some electronic styles. My second biggest musical obsession since 2020 are Sparks. Favorite metal bands: Sabaton, Metallica and Ayreon.

I'm a cineast and the vice-president of our local film club. Also definitely a Trekkie, especially crazy about the Klingon language which I'm currently learning to speak (I have the first level certificate from the KLI).

I do not smoke cigarettes and very rarely drink any alcohol. I'm definitely not a party/stay up late/dance type of a person but love connecting to people during my trips, concerts, festivals, conventions etc.

I firmly believe in the importance of staying true to oneself and the right to free self expression regardless of one's age or gender.

As this info may matter to some: I am tripple-vaxxed (though I don't care if you are or not).
