ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in Montreal Quebec Canada to Polish parents.I am fluent in 3 languages, English, French and Polish. I have a small base in Italian and i know restaurant Greek, long story:)I love to travel, in search of some creative stimuli in foreign lands. I love to discover new things and i thrive in new situations. I felt that i outgrew my pot in Montreal, so i moved to Taiwan for a year in 2009. I became an English teacher but now i'm back in Montreal and it feels great to be back! I needed to miss Mlt for a while... and i did.

PHILOSOPHY

I have so many, but here are just a few.
You live and learn. Or you don't live long.
Mind over matter, if you don't mind it don't matter:)
Live and let live!
What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.
When you loose, don't loose the lesson.
A good run is always better than a poor fight.
If you don't like yourself, you can't like other people.
A skunk is better company than a man who prides himself on being frank.
