ABOUT ME

(Marta)I am a sociologist and bike lover restlessly dreaming about changing the world (for the better) and naively believing it's possible. Interested in grassroot social movements and constantly excited it might work. Back in Poland, human rights and global education trainer, privately fond of bicycle raids and kayak rafting organised at the spur of the moment. Sometimes at the flow of inspiration I make jewellery from easily accessible materials (occasionally referred as "trush"). II drink beer with a straw (what in Hungary, don't know why, evokes peals of laughter) and would drink it even with syrup if it was possible here! I have a volunteer nature. Did an EVS in Hungary and this was the best year of my life:) I bike a lot. My life motto is 'magis' (the more) and that's why I believe that "it's not difficulties but our dreams that scare us most".
Pawel€š is also a Pole. And also a sociologist but works in logistics. He loves good movies and gardening. Currently we live in Poznan, Poland.
