About Me

CURRENT MISSION

writing, traveling, enjoying life :)

ABOUT ME

Hi, Im friendly, outgoing and really cheerful young woman. Travelling and exploring new cultures are my greatest hobbies. Im interested in fine art, music, culinary, sociology and gender studies.

PHILOSOPHY

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the one who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars..." Jack Kerouac

Interests

I love music, playing piano and club concerts. I also cant imagine my life without fine art, i love painting and my most favourite painter is Salvador Dali­. My big passion is culinary, I dont mind spending hours in kitchen preparing a delicious meal for my family or friends. Im addicted to sport as well, especially skiing, cross-country skiing and skialpinism, swimming, spinning, football and dancing samba. My friends know me as a bookworm, my room is full of books. Last but not least I love spending time with my friends, drinking good wine, telling stories and having fun.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There had been several moments in which I was like awestruck. Everytime I have a chance to visit a new country and discover new beautiful places Im awestruck :) For example view from Lomnica saddle!! Its just breathtaking to look at mountains especially during the winter. Or visiting Sagrada Familia, I think Gaudi was definitely a genius.

Teach, Learn, Share
