CURRENT MISSION
Wrap up the production of the first album of my musical band Dzieci Słońca - Majeranki. Learn Spanish and Portugueses, travel to Spain and Portugal

ABOUT ME
I live with my partner and two kids (Wojtek 2006, Nastka 2010) in a house we have built, surrounded by trees , with a wild garden and a lot of space to breath fresh air and relax.

PHILOSOPHY
I believe in kindness and try to be respectful of all forms of life. I think being careful and mindful of other people and nature is the best thing we can do. And that we have a limited ability to influence others so trying to "be the change we want the see in the world" is the only sensible direction.

Interests

Music is my biggest passion. I used to sing in an a capella singing group. We engaged ourselves in traditional village music (Ukrainian, Russian, Belorussian, Polish traditional songs). I don't sing in the band any more but I know many traditional Slavic songs that are sung in harmonies.
Currently I run a music band that does music for and with children - I guess this is because I have never left behind my own inner child. I write songs for the band.
I'm very concerned about the environment and animal rights - I'm a vegetarian because of ethical reasons and I'm trying to be environmentally conscious and careful as far as it's possible in this crazy world.
I'm an English teacher working mainly with kids.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like listening to Nick Cave, Tom Waits and lots of others, I like all kids of good books and movies, wouldn’t know what to choose.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Childbirth. Nothing compares to that.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know plenty of traditional village songs which have survived through sharing. I want to continue this sharing tradition.
I'd be most happy to be able to practice my English, Spanish or Portuguese (very basic) and to give my kids a chance to learn languages.
