Hey!
My name is Jarek (Jaroslaw) but you can call me JJ. I have studied tourism and business at 4 universities in Poland, Finland, Austria and Hong Kong. I have been working as skiing instructor for last 7 years and I am trying to figure out what to do next in my life. I have entrepreneurship spirit and one day I will start my own travel related business. I don't have a watch but I always have time ... to travel of course ;) I am nature lover, but I also like culture and architecture. Beside skiing I do climbing and kitesurfing.

My motto is 'Everyday is a Saturday' ;)

PHILOSOPHY
Work less, travel more!
Travel is the only thing you buy, that makes you richer.
I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake.
I love not man the less, but Nature more. [Lord Byron]
The home is where my bag is.
Don't follow me, I'm crazy!
Vae victis!
