ABOUT ME
Hello everybody!
We are young Polish marriage, We are around 30. We are both vegetarians, hitch-hikers and cyclists, climbers and much more, who are travelling as much as we can, and who would love to travel all over the world! There is so many people to meet, so many stories to hear and tell, so many things to see and touch, so many food to taste!
Our story began in 2008, when we met. This year we done the most magical and unforgettable for whole life hitch-hiking trip through whole Europe, Turkey and Iran. The people we met and stories which happened made us believe that everything is possible, magic is real, and - people are good! We fallen in love with Iranian hospitality and friendliness, as well as with each person who gave us a lift and made our trip possible, gave us a shelter or helped us in any other way and made our trip magnificent!
Next two years we spent in Poland living together in Wroclaw, but we done a few smaller European hitch-hiking, and not only hitch-hiking trips. During this time we've been in Netherlands, Ukraine, Sweden, Portugal and we hitch-hiked in the winter to Moldova, through Slovakia, Hungary and Romania.
After that, we decided to get married! Polish marriage ceremony isn't really our favourite, so we did it in India! Again we hitch-hiked through whole eastern Europe and Turkey to after 5 days and spending 1$ during that, reach Tbilisi in Georgia! Then we hitch-hiked through Georgia, Armenia and Iran to Shiraz, from where we took a flight to Delhi. We avoided travelling through Pakistan because of very dangerous situation in there during this time. We spent 5 weeks in north India, 2 weeks in Nepal and finally we got married by 3. September 2010 in Delhi!:)
In next year we flew to Morocco. Unfortunately that was our worst trip we ever made. Half of our trip we were sick and second wasn't what we really would like to. In the summer we decided to not go out of Europe this time, not even out of our country. We wanted to get to know closer Poland this time! We hitch-hiked around east part of Poland. We visited famous Cracow, in Bieszczady we were hiking through mountains, in Warsaw we explored vegetarian Asian restaurants, in Mazury we sailed for a week and completed our trip in beautiful Torun.
In beginning of 2012 we left to work in Scotland, to earn some money for our travels. We were working hard to the end of the year in one of the best hotel in Scottish Highlands. But... not for all the time! We had a one month holidays, which we used for trying to change our bad memories about Morocco. And we did it! We hitch-hiked around south part of Morocco. We followed Atlantic Coast from El-Jadida to Sidi Ifni, we struggled with lowest traffic we ever experienced in Anti-Atlas mountains and finally - we touched the sand of Moroccan Sahara!
As we felt like a bit experienced hitch-hikers, we wanted to try something new!
Very spontaneously we bought the bikes and we flew with them to Thailand for two months. We had no experience at all, we had no knowledge about bikes at all (we actually still don't) and we never cycled over 100km before... we cycled all the way from Bangkok to the very north Laos, we passed Laotian mountains to reach Vientiane, and then we came back through very east Thailand back to Bangkok. We did it - and it was lovely!
We fell in love with cycling, as well as we fell in love with south-east Asia!
We came back to Scotland, we were working hard again for a half year to the end of the season and then we came back to SE Asia... we cycled through Thailand again (oh, how much we love Thailand!), Cambodia, Malaysia and Singapore. We made 5600km in 4 months, with 600 in first and 5000 in next three :P
Another few months in Scotland and after that, we found ourself and our bikes in Japan. In 2 beautiful months we cycled across Honshiu, Shikoku and Kiushiu. We fell in love in Japan, onsens and mochi and sushi. Winter was coming, so in spite of common sense instead of moving to the warmer country we took a ferry to South Korea. It was beginning of December 2014. And winters in Korea can be really cold. But tent covered with snow and cycling on a white surface was Funtastic experience! More than a 1000km cycled across, from Busan to Seul, and another flight, to Bangkok again. Did we mentioned already that we love Thailand?
And after 3 months cycling around Thailand, we moved back to Scotland and worked hard next 3 years with shorter and longer breaks. To be back to Thailand, cycling during short winter holidays of my sister. And we discovered some new sports for us as well. We started snowboarding together, whole February 2016 we spend in Germany close to Alps to snowboard everyday, and next winter we started rock climbing. And that drew us in properly. At the beginning of April 2018 we left Poland in our tiny van ;) and the adventures started again. First rock climbing in Germany, then Spain - Catalunia, Valenciana, Andalusia, then Portugal. Spain again, Leon and Asturias. Very intensive few months, and now is winter and rocks are slightly too cold for us to rock climbing so we bought cross country ski and want to explore from this perspective!
So as you can see we don't have our space to host you yet! But You could host us!
