About Me

ABOUT ME

When I was born in July 1992, the worst heat wave struck Silesia. There were many local fires due to lack of rain. It must have been tough! But here I am, 23 years on, and I am well!

Born to a housewife and an electrician, I had a happy childhood. My brother (8 year older) always took good care of me. I really miss those days, when I could lay around all day playing with toys, Lego bricks and on my first computer.

In 1999 I started attending local Primary School, then I went to a billingual Secondary School just to finish my obligatory education at an awesome High School, where I met many good people I still keep in touch with.

Then came the year 2011, the graduation day and the hardest question yet: what the hell should I do with my life? I decided on going to a University to study Russian Language and Literature in the city of Opole but it didn't really work out for me. Disgusted by the people and the toxic atmosphere, I decided to quit just as Euro 2012 in Poland and Ukraine started.

Just after a few months or so, I thaught the best thing to do was to leave everything behind and go abroad. I decided on starting a new life in Swansea, Wales. 6 month I spent there was a happy time but I've found out that life still can be hard, wherever you are. So my next step was simple: go back, study after all and see what the future holds for me.

I finished my Bachelor's in Russian after all. Currently working as a Translator and Mentor for an educational programme called Neighbors 3.0. I am also the Editor-in-Chief at rajzynfiber.pl and an Editor at kvlt.pl

I'm an outgoing person, some say I'm funny - I like to joke around, especially on things other prefer to stay silent. I think you only live once and you should live your life 120%, no matter how hard it is, just cease the day!
