About Me

FOR SURFERS: PLEASE READ THE MASSAGE "HOSTING" :)

Game designer and university lecturer, working on a phd project related to gaming and sustainable urban innovation.
I have lived in South Korea after my bachelor on Korean studies, where I realised that Poland is the place where I'd love to stay. That was the "prodigal son" (or daughter) story. Besides, I guide in mountains, make art or play music.

Seriously, Poland is awesome!

Two pompous statements that shape my reality:
Happiness is not a place, happiness is a journey.
Balance consists of infinite movements.

I believe traveling without a basic knowledge about the history, culture, language and social background is just a sightseeing.

To speak is to understand - that's the reason why I love learning languages. There's so much of the culture, history and mindset of the society behind the language.

Mountain guiding is my true passion, especially Beskid Niski region, a place where complicated Polish history mixes with the nature.

I move - run, swim, dance, hike.
I think.
I joke.
