Overview
About Me
I consider myself an eternal seeker. Always eager to explore, always eager to go wherever no one else is dragged. It's good at home, but it's best into the wide world!
In 2014, I graduated from high school with a degree in geography and history, and a few years later, I completed a tourism degree, which gave me a very good foundation for traveling and gaining knowledge about the world. Only in the last few years I have worked in Poland, Iceland, Norway, Switzerland or France, I was a cook, gardener, surveyor, tourist pilot or writer - in 2021 I finished and published my first book telling the story of my longest journey through Russia and Kazakhstan.
Last three years with Ania - my girlfriend - we have been living and working in Iceland to collect money and buy a ruined apartment in an old tenement building in Łódź and then renovated it entirely ourselves, from tearing down walls and installing plumbing to furnishing and decorating. Although it wasn't a classic point-to-point journey, it was definitely one of the best adventures of our lives.
I am talkative, helpful and open. I can speak on any subject. I love traveling because it is an opportunity to take a break from everyday life and see new places. I love to ride up hitchhiking - it recognize the great stories of ordinary people! I like to party with friends, listen to music or watch a good football game (FC Barcelona fan). Last few years I am more and more into photography, and slowly I am starting to think about converting it to some business in the future perhaps.

What I Can Share with Hosts
I am able to be your personal guide in my city, in the Łódź! Actually I am educated guide, I finished tourism studies at Lodz’s University. I can show you little hiding places in the city, sites related to city culture , murals, examples of street arts. And, if it's in your circle of interests, I know a few pleces where you can enjoy underground music - in some minds, Łódź is the polish capital of the techno music!
