About Me

I love travelling and music, and I know, that it sounds boring, because who doesn't? Anyway, these two are the most amazing things in the world. They both help you to get to know who you actually are and reach the deepest of your heart. If I could, I'd literally traveled everywhere in the world. All the places are so different, so interesting, so unique, it's not about which one is better and which one is worse. I love comparing cultures, cuisines and other little things from people's lives. However, I believe that deep inside we are all the same, no matter where we were born, and travelling and meeting new people helps me to prove it.
I love playing piano, guitar and ukulele. I'm not the best in case of the last two, but it's more about getting pleasure from the process than being a virtuoso haha. I also love singing and listening to vinyl records. There is something magical about these black shiny pancakes, the whole proccess of finding the right record, pulling it out of the box and putting on the record player just gives a bit more sense to the whole idea of music.
