**CURRENT MISSION**
To meet inspiring people, share experiences and discover the world through local perspectives.

**ABOUT ME**
Well… it’s always a bit tricky to write about myself. My story starts in the late 80s – I was born in 1988 in Ełk, north-eastern Poland. I grew up in Masuria, a beautiful land of lakes and forests, a real wonder of nature.

In 2007 I moved to Wrocław, where I studied at the University of Economics, and graduated in 2012. Since 2014 I’ve been working for a local radio station in Ełk, creating shows for children and youth, as well as a radio program about reggae music.

I love photography, music, travelling and meeting new people from around the world. I enjoy listening to stories, sharing ideas and learning about different cultures.

**PHILOSOPHY**
I believe in freedom, honesty and respect. I value meaningful conversations, cultural exchange and kindness. I’d describe myself as curious about the world, open to new ideas and always ready to share good vibes.
