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.

Glonojad

A vegetarian classic

"Glonojad" is one of Krakow's cult vegetarian restaurants with a few bonuses! I recommend the pierogis & pancakes. Protip: come for breakfast before noon.

Tociekawa

Come for the coffee, stay for more

"Tociekawa" brings together the speciality coffee community of Krakow. The place is tiny, and the staff is too sweet to leave after just 10 minutes...

Słodko i Czule

Love me tender, love me sweet

Cafe "Słodko i Czule" in Krakow got me hooked from the 1st moment. The neon lights, the plant wall, the vegan sweets, the unusual choice of coffee beans...

Teatr Barakah Art Cafe

Off-stage

"Teatr Barakah Art Cafe" is in an area of Krakow's Kazimierz that doesn't get too much attention. Pity, because this theater and art cafe are so worth it.

HEVRE

Where the walls speak

"HEVRE" is a Krakow bar with a story to tell, but nowadays it's an all-day bar open for laptop warriors during the day and lots of beer and dance at night!
