Hi!
I'm Katarzyna, but you can call me Kasia (it's easier to remember and pronouns). I'm 24 and come from Poland. I grew up in a small town and intolerant environment. That's why I had to face many obstacles in my life. Regardless, I am studying two courses, cooking vegan cuisine, practising entrepreneurship, organizing various projects and working. I like clear cases. I show my opinion, and I do it best by writing. I love coffee and animals. I'm a feminist and vegan. I'm not an expert, but curiosity leads me to become more and more aware of many issues, and I write, just like that, for people.

Where does the name come from?
Talking to my friends, I was surprised continuously. I talked about, for example, some legal provisions that affected them, problems related to finances or ideas for spending time as students. I replied by surprise too. Not because I shared their amazement, but because of the unawareness of my friends. Then, it turned out that I am better oriented than others in some topics and still at the beginning of my life path. That is why "Young’n’Aware"!

What is this blog for?
It hurts me the attitude that something is impossible or there's no sense to do it. Mostly, when it comes from my aged people. Some people aren't conscious of the surrounding world and everyday matters. Others don't have access to such information. Social problems that touch us are many. I prefer to check whether something is impossible and try to prove there is a total opposite. Because we do SOMETHING, SOMETHING also changes – I wake up with it every day. And thus I want to give it to you with! Join me!

What will you read about here?
I focus on everydayness that maybe you want to know about. More specific? You will find here:

  • student life things; 
  • travelling and programs related to that;
  • current political issues; 
  • how to think entrepreneurial;
  • vegan cuisine; 
  • wellbeing with minimalism - ecology and economy might be connected;
  • my dealing with development as a non-neurotypical person;
  • my observations about the reality around us.

Recount from volunteering in Portugal: 2. "It’s not always easy."

Image
Hi!  It's time to share with you my second text written during my staying in Portugal. It has been created after my second week there. "I would say, till now, my typical day in the organization looks very stably. And it is not this kind of work which I love the most. My job appeared totally different before I came to Lisbon within ESC . Usually, I worked on projects. It means I had many deadlines, different kinds of work to do, and it required knowledge from various fields of mine. For you, it can look like unstable work and non-settled working time. And it was. It was also related to a lot of stress, but… I really like it! Maybe not stress, but I feel really well in a job where sometimes there is no time to care about myself, but other times there is very calm, and everything is going slowly. In that case, stress wasn’t so great a sacrifice for me. Especially I really liked that job, and I appreciate I had that opportunity. The job in the organization where I came in within E

Recount from volunteering in Portugal: 3. "Portugal, give me more surprises!"

Image
Hello! It's time for the third, and the last at once, my recount from my staying in Portugal.  "My stay in Portugal is coming to an end. It was going to last eight weeks. Due to various reasons, I have decided to leave Portugal earlier. It also means this is my penultimate blog entry. For summarizing what I have learned here, time will come. Now, I would like to focus on what Portugal surprised me. First, I was surprised that almost everyone has a pet here. My trips’ photos should present monuments. In the end, they show dogs, cats and other different animals, including birds (that is why you can see a pigeon in the picture). That case is very close to my heart, and due to that, I run an NGO in Poland regarded to help animals also that is why I am vegan. An issue that surprised me the most, in this case, was the fact that even homeless animals (unfortunately, there are a lot of them in Portugal) receive some help from people. They gave some food from local people. Of course, I

What to do on holidays? Going for Erasmus!

Image
It’s time for the first substantive content. It will be short. However, the main idea to start blogging was a goal to give you as many tools as a student can get. So, here you go! There is around half of the holidays. Maybe this post should have been published earlier, but most people have plans for the beginning of summer and, probably, you would forget about it. I think it’s the perfect time to give you the inspiration to use the time that we have before the next academic year.   If you don’t have an idea what to do for the rest of the holidays (or you want to do something additional except study), I have a recommendation for you. A lot of NGOs around Europe have received funding for making projects. It is money from the EU, and the main goal for spending is to make short projects for young people within the Erasmus+ programme. Firstly, go to Facebook. Just put various combinations of words such as “young”, “Erasmus”, “opportunity”, “(name of your country)”, “projects”, and others.
