🧊CURRENT MISSION (Updated: Aug 2025)

This summer has been really fulfilling for me:🌿
I’m writing every week about my travel stories and photography✍🏻, designing and making beaded jewelry for my own brand📿, reading feminist books and learning more about the topic📖, studying German (currently A2 level), practicing yoga 🧘‍♀️, and preparing for a photography project about women through Couchsurfing.📷

🧊ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m Cicine. I’ve been studying photography in Poland since 2023. Coming here felt like starting a second life — it gave me the chance to travel around Europe, meet new people, and live the life I once dreamed of.

Before this, I studied advertising in China and worked as a photographer for two years. But I realized that wasn’t the path I truly wanted. So I decided to come to Poland and follow my real passion. Now, I’m also preparing for the next step — I hope to stay in Europe after graduation because I really love the atmosphere here.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hi! I’m a cheerful, open-minded girl who loves to smile and connect with people. I’ll bring joy and good vibes to your day!🌞

I’m clean, respectful, and truly value the people I meet. I’d love to take a portrait of you — if you’re open to it, I’d like to capture our moments together and keep these memories alive through photography.📸

I also enjoy cooking and would be more than happy to make some homemade Chinese dishes for you!

Besides photography and cooking, I’m deeply interested in different cultures, daily life stories, and women’s experiences. I love having deep conversations just as much as sharing silly jokes. I’m always curious about the world and grateful for every encounter.

Looking forward to meeting you — let’s create something meaningful and fun together!🌻
