My name is Elina, I'm 18, and I live in Krakow. For me, this city is about the atmosphere: old houses, trams, takeaway coffee and the feeling that the past and present are constantly talking to each other here. I like to walk alone, especially in the evening, when the city gets quieter and you can be alone with your thoughts. 🎧

I love taking pictures, mostly on my phone. I like to capture small things: light in windows, reflections in puddles, random shots of people who don't even know they've become part of someone's story. I also draw — not perfectly, but sincerely. This is my way of expressing emotions when words are not enough. ✏️
Sometimes I write short texts or thoughts in notes: about myself, about people, about life. I don't show it to anyone, but it makes me feel better.

My dream is to find myself and not be afraid to make a choice. I want to do something creative to feel that what I'm doing makes sense. I want to travel, live in other cities, see the world, but Krakow is still my "home", where I always want to return. 🤍
I also dream of becoming more confident in myself and stop constantly doubting myself — at least a little bit.

I value sincerity and warmth in people the most. ✨ I like those who know how to listen, be honest and not play a role. I like calm, reliable people, with whom you can be silent without awkwardness and really talk. I can't stand falsehood, ostentatious coolness and empty words — actions are more important to me.

In general, I'm a little closed, thoughtful, and sometimes overly sensitive. But if I'm comfortable with a person, I open up: I can laugh a lot, share my thoughts, and create comfort even from an ordinary evening.
