About Me
I made up my mind not to care so much about the destination, and try to simply enjoy the journey.
I started traveling already quite few years ago,
traveling, working, learning a lot...
First to Spain ... studying tourism in a little town Gandia (close to Valencia) and getting to know the Spanish lifestyle,
then another part of Spain - Gran Canaria - practice training at the reception desk, visiting The cantary islands, learning Spanish ..
Netherlands - working at the factory, assembling printers. kind of monotonous job but I had my Spanish dictionary :)
United States - working at the summer camp. Enjoying the lake, the forests, the beauty of green Pennsylvania
Andorra. Amazing Andorra. Picking up Polish skiers at the airport in Barcelona, dropping them off at the hotels in Andorra, then waiting for them to call me (*I want to change the hotel room, I got lost, I am at the hospital because ...,etc .. ,) or not to call me (and this is when I had plenty of time to enjoy the Pyrenees, the snow, snowboarding, falling and rising ...)
Egipt. Practice training for working at The diving center..
then Grand Bahama. Working at the diving center (front desk) and obviously learning how to scuba dive. Getting to know myself.. How do I react being face to face with the shark. indescribable. :)
Then México. Riviera Maya. working as a tour guide. Mayan ruins, cenotes, rappeling, ziplining, hiking in The jungle.. Eating all the possible mexican dishes, enjoying The carribean coast
Canada .. Picking morels in The burned forrest of The northern BC, living in a tent, bathing in The rivers, working at The orchards picking cherries, apples.. And starting rock climbing (just started but This iş a big thing in my life)..
then few months in Mazunte, volunteering in Prasad of yoga center OM SHANTI, and then the teacher training course ... life changing experience
5 Vipassana 10 days courses + 1 month of volunteering - cleaning the center after one course, preparing it for the next one + cooking + female group manager
Poland, Kraków - working in corpo .. checking the dark side of the Internet to make sure that our 'client's' advertisements will not appear on the web pages with nasty content. Closed building, headache, surfing through the pages that I would have never found if I did not work here ..
Camino de Santiago . from Irun to Finisterre. Camino del Norte + Primitivo. Learning that it's all step by step ... one of the most amazing experiences of my life ..
Few months in Lisbon , working for TommyHilfiger customer service,, on the phone. - call center. Not as bad as I thought it could be. but corpo .. I think I don;t want to work in any corporation like that ever again ..
but the craziness freedom and diversity of living in Lisbon makes the balance. I kind of fell in love with you Lisbon.
Since 2019 I lived in Japan, worked in a hotel in Okayama, as a ski instructor in Nagano, part time at the demolition company in Kochi, one winter season at the office of ski school in Niseko (Hokkaido), I did pilgrimage Ohenro 88, once walking, one time by bicycle, I love Japan, to be honest I hate it sometimes too, but I love to explore it. It’s quite small but culturally quite extended with a lot of uphills, which take time.
Now I’m planning on going back to Poland for few months (to reconnect with my country&people after 4 years of not moving away from Japan),
I’m very curious what’s next …
