About me
About me
Applied psychology student with a passion for people and languages. I’ve been active as a freelance photographer since I turned 14. Currently I work as a content marketer for an event industry startup. Speciality coffee geek, die-hard Nick Cave and Talking Heads fan. I can’t imagine leaving home without my earphones and something to read.
Why Krakow
I was born 50 kilometres away from Kraków, but I’ve always been a frequent visitor. When I moved here in 2015, it felt more like home than ever. I remember my German friend remarking that Kraków citizens have a passion for beautiful things – and even though it was just her first impression, this statement pretty much sums it up. I love the nostalgic vibe you can feel on every street. I adore the variety. Middle ages, modernism, socrealism – we’ve got it all.
