About myself

I work as a business analyst, but privately I'm interested in so-called humanities, such as philosophy, history, linguistics, sociology, religion, politics, cuisine, etc., and this are the areas where I try to contribute to Wikipedia, mostly in Poland-related areas. I also maintain the Poland Portal and try to answer questions about Poland and Central Europe at the Humanities and Language reference desks. — Kpalion
