CURRENT MISSION

expanding my horizons/looking for inspiration in other people

ABOUT ME

Hi! My name is Kasia, although my friends are used to calling me just Kate, and actually I’m not sure why; maybe just to distinguish me among the others Kasias that they know. Yep, it’s quite popular name in Poland. I’m 26 years old and live in a beautiful city situated along the Odra River. I’ve always been trying to do things that I’m interested in like: learning new languages, getting to know people from different countries and listening to their stories, drawing and painting and of course traveling. I hope that this site somehow will help me to combine all the things I love.

PHILOSOPHY

Trying to follow a thought that in life it is not necessarily important to be strong but to feel strong.

"The limits of my language
mean the limits of my world."

- L. Wittgenstein

and because of that I'm trying to cross my limits.
