My ways


I am who I am...                             ... Soy como soy                            Jestem taka jaka jestem! 
...I know who I am                        no pretendo caerle bien                       
                                                             a todo el mundo

To travel is to take a  journey into yourself.

I think a great part of my life I have spent on traveling which always is not enough.  
At aged 20  I left Poland and started my great adventure in England. It was my first country abroad and first time in aircraft. Being there by myself and trying to adapt and find my own ways was a great lesson of my life. It was difficult, everything was so different!!! I think my determination and optimism and hard work helped me to succeed.
 I made my dreams come true, master English, visit London and other beautiful places got professional job.  I had a first  flight deck jump seat on Boeing 757 - it is flying in a cockpit with pilots what was always my dream. It was  unforgettable experience. I always dreamt  of seeing the beautiful views of clouds and sun that only pilots can see. 
But all this would be nothing without my friends who have been there for me when I smiled when I cried when I failed and when I succeeded. Especially my friend Joanna and Chris.
England became my second home gave me a new start new friends new life. It was almost 4 years I lived on this Ever Green Island!!!
 I would not do it  without God's help, he was with me on this journey all the time and he still is;-)!!! 

 Never to late for studying.

I went back to Poland to make another of my dreams UNI. I always found a great passion in modern languages, English and Spanish were my favourite. I waited 6 year of my life to get a chance to study at UAM in Poznan a city where I  always wanted to be. There was always something that stood on the way. First not enough money, no time but there always were motivation.
 My High school friends finished their MA, when I started at age 25 first year of UNI. So here I was  a student.

From Poland to Spain.

I knew that I would not learn better Spanish than in Spain. I applied for scholarship and went to Spain for a year. I packed up and went to Málaga to start new adventure! I traveled a lot, got to know the country, folklore and amazing amigos!!!
Spain gave me my beloved flamenco which for me is art of arts!!! I love it to bits!!! I learned how to dance Sevillana in School of  Carmen Macarrea in Ciudad Reall where I was doing my UNI.
 I devoted to flamenco all my time in Spain and wrote my BA  about it "Flamenco an -international dance." I have attended many great flamenco shows in the main cities of Spain.  I hope the flamenco adventure will never ends!!!  

Back to England.

Dear England I came back for some more of adventure and ... I found Jesus my God my Savior Who shows me the true meaning of LOVE.
