    Hej
    Pracuję w Filtrach na Starej Ochocie. Super atmosfera, super ludzie a przede wszystkim boska kawa. Ale tak sobie pomyślałam, że może by zmienić na wakacje klimat i gdzieś dalej pobrykać, kawowo oczywiście :) Tylko nie wiem, czy wszyscy będą tacy chętni, żeby mnie przyjąć, hłeh. Ale co tam, zobaczymy. A Ty gdzie pracujesz?

    Najbardziej ciągnie mnie do Szwecji, może do Holandii, Danii. Ale w sumie mogłabym pojechać w każde ciekawe miejsce :) A Ty chciałbyś gdzieś jechać? Swoją drogą mój Szefu szuka ludzi na wymianę, więc jeśli ktoś od Ciebie chciałby zobaczyć letnią Warszawę i dać nam możliwość popracowania nad brudną zatoką, to zapraszam ;)

    Making people happy with coffee is very very rewarding to me.
    In Japan, good coffee shops are increasing little by little recentry and we have local barista network in Tokyo!
