Educator/Teacher, Writer/Editor

I'm studying English and French at the Silesian University in Poland. Besides being in love with languages, I'm a passionate translator and foreign language teacher, an amateur musician, and a huge fan of popculture and voyages.

I'm passionate about languages and everything that comes with it: that's why I love being a translator and a teacher. Besides it, I'm totally fascinated by the greatness and complexity of the universe, though I don't understand much of it (but I try!). I admire Elon Musk's and SpaceX's work and accomplishments. Hope to shake his hand one day :-).

Before TED I was translating small texts, films and series so I had some experience. Yet, I believe this is the place where I can develop myself most dynamically doing something very interesting at the same time.

I know quite a lot about black holes (after watching Interstellar I spent a whole month reading about those scary, monstrous, fascinating things).
