Turn ons:

Oh, so many things! First of all, I am a huge music lover. I'm always with my headphones on, and my playlist is a mess of Polish indie, classic rock, and K-pop. My biggest passion is exploring abandoned places with my camera. There's something so beautiful and haunting about old, forgotten buildings; they have so many secrets.

Turn offs:

Ugh, where do I even start? I really can't stand closed-minded people who don't even try to understand different perspectives. Judging others is just so lame. Also, I have a strong dislike for early mornings and people who are rude to waiters or baristas (I see it all the time at work!). Another thing is that typical, gloomy Polish autumn weather—weeks of gray skies and rain can be so depressing.

About me:

Hey there! I'm Arlin, an 18-year-old from the vibrant and sometimes chaotic city of Warsaw, Poland. I just finished high school last spring, and honestly, I'm in that weird, exciting, and slightly terrifying phase of figuring out what's next. I'm taking a gap year right now, working at a cute little coffee shop in the Old Town and saving up for my big adventures. I'm planning to study art history eventually, because I'm completely obsessed with how stories are told through paintings and architecture. I live with my super loud but loving family – my parents, my younger brother who is a total gaming nerd, and our fluffy cat, Puszka. My life is a mix of Polish traditions, like big family dinners on Sundays, and my own modern dreams of traveling the world.
