Languages: English
Favorite region:Balkans, France
About:I am trying not to get lost in translation :) Both literary, as well as in life.
+ At GV Polska since the 15th of March 2010
“Global Voices is an amazing source of information about the world, specially developing world, since we do not think of it on a daily basis, as it seems so distant. It’s also great that posts are written by ordinary people, very often eyewitnesses, who present in more trusted, unbiased and uncensored manner events from their area. Sadly Polish media represent quite the opposite. To be honest I joined Global Voices while looking for something to do during my maternity leave trying to avoid the boredom of reading future mums forums :) Now I see that GV website is an eye-opener and I am extremely happy that I am here with you, even if not as active as I wish to be.”
