Hey, I'm Tess! I'm an 18-year-old girl from the beautiful and sometimes chaotic city of Kraków, Poland. I just finished high school last spring, and to be completely honest, I'm in that weird, exciting, and slightly terrifying phase of figuring out what's next. I live with my parents and my little brother, Leo, who is both my biggest annoyance and my favorite person. I've always been a pretty curious person. In school, I loved literature and art history, but I also surprised myself by being pretty good at biology. I guess I don't like being put in a box! When I'm not busy overthinking my future, you can usually find me with my nose in a book, exploring the old town with my friends with an iced coffee in hand (no matter the weather!), or trying to convince my cat, Luna, that she actually loves me.

Turns On Polish Pierogi: Seriously, my babcia's (grandma's) pierogi ruskie are a gift to this world. No one can change my mind. Discovering New Music: I have a playlist for every possible mood. I'm always on the lookout for new indie artists, both Polish and international.

Turns Off Judgmental People: Life is hard enough without people judging others for their choices, passions, or just for being themselves. The Pressure to Have It All Figured Out: Everyone constantly asking "So, what are you going to do with your life?" is my personal nightmare. I'm 18, let me breathe! Morning People: I am not a morning person. Don't talk to me before I've had my coffee.
