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.

AUTUMN LEAVES

Autumn is a season full of colours in some way very magical. You just have to look

around and see the wonders of nature. This time my inspiration were colourful leaves.

I played with all sorts of colours: greens, reads, mustardy yellows to create colourful

images. I think that on a grey and rainny days people wearing colourfully clothes would

made streets to brighten up. I used woolen ponchos in this stylisation which I like very

much for autumn.

LONDON VODAFONE FASHION WEEKEND 18-21 SEPTEMBER 2014

London Fashion Weekend was for me an amazing experience. It was my first time but not the last time for sure!!! It was a perfect opportunity to immerse myself in the world of fashion get new inspiration and to see new trends for autumn and winter 2014. The show took place in Somerset House where the biggest pop-up boutique was placed. You could buy over 250 of the world's most established designer brands as well as the emerging labels at irresistible price.

The queue for the catwalk show was as long as from London to Cracow (Kraków) but it was worth to wait. It is nothing worst that be seated in the last row at the catwalk show. So......... you have to get yourself in the first row? As English people say: "When there is a will there is a way" I wanted to take some good shots but my place was almost in the last row. I went to the lady who was in charge of locating people and I just said to her few words;-) and here I was sitting in a first row in the middle. So happy!!!

The sow presented four styles: One and Only, Candy Crush, Jungle Fever and Fairy Tale Ending.

One and Only was encouraging women to pick up one colour and to stick with it! From head-to-toe wear the same colour but with the different shades and paly with proportion and texture.

Designers( Roland Mouret and Philip Lim)

Candy Crush presented pastel shades like lilacs, powder pink and baby blues leading the way for autumn and winter. It was a grown up approach - look to structured shilhouettes,sharp tailoring andelegant sportswear by Simone Rocha, Acne Studios and Helmut Lang.
