About the author:

Agata Palach, a teacher of English as a foreign language by profession, a woman of many walks of life, and a vagabond. For several years, mostly on the road, still looking for her place on earth. Currently living in the Canary Islands, Spain.

Author of the blog ‘Never Too Late’ about travelling, inspiring places, interesting people, and the English language.

She decided to make a radical change in her life when she was in her 40s, with a stable life and a job. She breaks conventions, showing that it is never too late for anything in life and that limitations are only in our heads. As she says about herself: “I am regularly on the move somewhere, and I keep discovering new places on Earth. I find the world too beautiful and complex and the people too interesting to stay in one place all my life. I focus on self-development and new experiences. Travelling is my passion, but I also have many others. Take a peek at the CATEGORIES on my blog www.nigdyzapozno.pl, you might find a topic close to your heart.
