About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Inner development

Popularisation of ethical veganism

ABOUT ME

We try to do everything for our spiritual growth. We practice Qi Gong, Hatha Yoga and some other systems of work with the energy.

We love animals so a few years ago we have decided to become vegans.
Well, Arkadiusz for some time has been 90% vegan. Sometimes some eggs appear at his plate...

We like travelling, visiting new places, exploring old castles.

We love mountains.

We don't smoke and don't like visiting pubs, discos or similar crowded and loud places.

When we are looking for a couch the most important thing for us is a place to stay.
We don't expect taking care of us, feeding us or organizing any attractions.

We are well-organized and we usually have a detailed plan what to do and what to see in an area we're visiting.

We are trying to not encumber our host with our presence. We are quiet, calm and good - natured.

During travelling we always have our own plates, mugs, cutlery, towels, soap and so on.

Usually when we go out in the morning (sometimes late morning) we come back in the evening and then ...
it's good time to have a talk with our host, of course if they have time and will to do so :-)
