About Me
ABOUT ME
Languages and traveling are my two great passions which I try to combine. I studied Scandinavian Studies in Poland, then Spanish in Norway for a bit, after that Hispanic Literature in Argentina and currently I live in Mexico, studying to become a teacher of Spanish as a foreign language. I work as a translator between Norwegian, Spanish, English and Polish. I like earl grey and herbal tea, strange movies, mystery novels, cross stitching, phonetics, making up nicknames for people I don't know but see often, going to bed early, food that is both healthy and delicious, talking to myself in foreign languages and people who live their dreams. I'm one of those lovable introverts who prefer a cup of tea to a pint of beer and a bubble bath to a techno party.
