ABOUT ME

I was born in Poland and lived in Sweden (mostly), France, Belgium and Russia for periods of different length. I love travelling, hanging out and eating. Life in a dining-car would be a pretty good title for my memoirs.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Iran was amazing and I wrote about it together with my sister at a blog, postcardsfromiran.wordpress.com

Otherwise: I love trains. So much classier than riding home at a wonky city bike late at night or a third-class seat in a low-cost rienair flight. I never met the love of my life onboard or witnessed a murder on the Midnight Express or anything like that, but I heart the beauty of banal travel details. The odd co-passengers, saints and sinners, newspaper readers, egg eaters, small dogs on the way to the sea. The sound of speed as we accelerate through never-ending meadows and sudden night in the tunnel. The modern dandy listening to sorrowful 80ies ballads a bit too loud and you can only imagine the kind of person broke his heart. Godforsaken idyll where some older ladies get off at a station with rusty signs. Ajaccio-Bastia that felt like a roller coaster, ride interrupted by sheep resting on the rails. Changing trains in the middle of nowhere in Morocco on a star-spangled night. Having the compartment all to ourselves. Or sharing it with an obese Ukrainian who snored through the night so I could enjoy the sunrise on the nighttrain from Ivanofrankivsk to Kyiv.
