Summer Schools

I’m 25 years old journalist from Warsaw. I just finished studying at Warsaw School of Economics and did exchange programme in Singapore. While there I have been traveling around South-East Asia. All in all, I visited 12 countries in six months while also writing a blog (singapur.spidersweb.pl) and posting photos on my fanpage or videos on my YouTube channel. I extremely enjoyed that time while being solo-traveler cause it gave me the opportunity to immerse in the cultures of surround nations and live their life. All of my entries are backed with a solid research both in local communities and internet sources. Due to the journalistic background (I'm working for the biggest newspaper in Poland) my articles and videos are interesting for the user and bring a lot of first-hand knowledge. I'm involved in helping local communities. For ex. I'm volunteering for Szlachetna Paczka which is providing aid to struggling families during Christmas holidays. Its main premise is the idea of helping wisely - providing direct aid in a way that it is effective, concrete and meaningful, but also giving hope and an impulse to act to the families that are struggling. 2018 update: For a few last years I'm working as a journalist for Spider's Web, which is the biggest polish tech-website. I'm covering big controversial stories about polish tech-star companies exposing bad working conditions, mobbing, taking advantage of interns, polluting internet with scam ads: https://www.spidersweb.pl/e/indahash-praca-opinie-pracownikow https://www.spidersweb.pl/e/cardio-technology-neuroon https://www.spidersweb.pl/e/itmagination-praca-opinie https://www.spidersweb.pl/2016/11/linehost-hosting.html https://www.spidersweb.pl/2017/03/robert-gryn-codewise.html https://www.spidersweb.pl/e/reklamy-online-strony-scam-zarobki
