About me

Hi, my name is Elmira.

And this is my online space, where I intend to share my ideas, experiences, favorite things, books, recipes and much more. I decided to replace my social media accounts with this website for various reasons, which I describe here.

I am a Kazakh, currently living in Warsaw, Poland with my family. My husband and I welcomed our first baby in April 2023, and I want to write about my experience of learning to be a new mom as well.

In my free time I like to travel, bake and explore new languages. I was raised bilingual in Kazakh and Russian, and I also speak English, Polish and French!

Nowadays I am working as a technology risk specialist at a professional service firm. I know it sounds vague, but for managing my professional identity, I kept the LinkedIn page. You can follow me there, if interested.

You can also reach out to me in Telegram for personal messages.

Much in the style of the year 2024, I have to add that all materials on the website are written and edited by me without use of genAI tools.

Thank you for stopping by!
