About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To connect time and possibility

ABOUT ME

All about me (in a tiny nutshell). Polish, born and raised. Spent first part of my life in Silesia, the south-west corner of Poland. A region which identity was never clear to be Polish, German, Czech or what. Moved to Krakow (Polish medieval capital) almost 10 years ago to study philosophy and, believe it or not, I still do it. I found the city and people great, and basically stuck in there, hopefully for good. I made some excursions in the meantime (half a year in Prague, a year in Geneva, a year in California).
The latest, huge breakthrough in my life was to find my better half and to begin my own family.
Well, when I ponder about it, it is not at all "all about me", but we would need to meet to fill in the details.

PHILOSOPHY

I guess I made studying philosophy my personal philosophy. However, lately I am more interested in the meaning of "the" and "will" than in the meaning of life.
