CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I love to travel, although I don't like to do it alone. I'm open to new people and I dislike people who always look on new people as strangers and enemies. I smile when I can because as I heard it's healthy :).

I love to dance, Cuban salsa, Cuban afro, kizomba, reggaeton - that kind of moves :). It gives you the energy and emotions only comparable with... you know what :).

I love the music, to discover it, to let myself fly with it, to let it get me through.

For now I'm staying in Cracow - great place in Poland, which everybody should see and experience. I love my country, notwithstanding all it's problems.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that life is not only about career. It is about being happy, but also or even in first place making other people happy, if it's possible. I'm not a man who likes competition a lot. When there is a stressful situation I'd rather back off and let others go. On the other hand I believe that intervening when you see evil happening around you is really important and it's sad to me that many people are passive as for the others' problems.
