CURRENT MISSION

Currently traveling around Asia .
We have been dreaming about hitchhiking around the world for many years, and in 2018 we received a sign that it’s time to go :). The theatre and choir group, where we were acting and singing have collapsed and it was nothing left to do for us, but to pack and move on the road, to realize our dream ;).

Some stories and pictures from our journey you can find on our blog: Ciuzinomads.com

We try to stay open to the beauty and magic of each present moment of life.
Learn and understand more about us and try to stay, as much as possible, in contact with our true self.
Love, share, give, experience and appreciate smaller and bigger gifts of the life.

ABOUT ME

We met in 2008 in Montenegro volunteer camp, working with disable children. After two years of long letters-visiting-parting period Anastasia moved from Ukraine to Poland and since 2010 we started to live together with our two charming kids?, no, cats - Puzik & Pushek :)
We are young, cheerful, enthusiastic couple. Don't stop developing ourselves in different ways and looking for our place in life, where we could live and do our work with passion and joy and fulfill our dreams.
We are passionate about nature, spending time with which fills us with tranquility,happiness and better contact with ourselves. We are very curious about people, their life stories, their different perspective of seeing things, shearing with them a meaningfull conversation and learning from each other.

We try to learn how to live conscious and reduce harm that we bring to our nature. It's about vegetarianism, small and bigger choices that we take each day.

Our next passion is music, especially singing of traditional old songs. For four years we also have been playing in theatre, lead by very talented teacher. Dancing and alternative pedagogy are also one of Rafals favorite spheres, when it comes to Anastasia - it's psychology, writing and photography.

As someone said: "Life is a book. The one who have never traveled know only one page of it",and we are willing to read as many pages of life, as it will be possible :) And we know that the best way to experience foreign county is through meeting with it's people. So here we are - ready happily to share and to get know more from the one whom we'll meet on our way!

PHILOSOPHY

"There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle."
Albert Einstein

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

We'll just put here a quote from Charles de Lint's book:
"...All the time when we create something from nothing - it's act of miracle! Doesn't matter if it is painting or planting a flower. All the time when we fix something, would it be old bicycle or broken hard, - we consciously choose to create or help, the same as we could choose to damage. But to damage is easy, and to make better is hard. That's why all the time when you do the right thing you became stronger. If we could remember all the time who we are and what we are able to do, no one could control or limit our freedom..."
