Overview
About Me
We are young people with open minds, desperate to discover the world and well, we simply enjoy travelling and everything that comes with it. We are yet to find our place on this planet. We are both graduates (International Relations in Scotland and Cognitive Science in Poland).
During our travels we meet new people, some of them inspire us to try new things, others put us off by their behavior and attitude. Sad bad true. We would be happy if we can inspire someone as well, really. We are also quite interested in local histories, traditions, the way people live. It broadens your horizons. Sometimes you obviously have to run away from humans and hide somewhere, everybody needs a bit of privacy in their own, secret world.
We live life on our own terms.
Travels make you think, re-consider your point of view, they make you see things that you would not otherwise see.
Also, we love rats. Yes, pet rats of course. They are amazing creatures to play with, very smart and lovely. Well...we love all animals, excluding cockroaches. Animal welfare is something we care about very much, you can label us "sensitive people". We enjoy watching animals, playing with them, caring for them. Anything really. We don't believe in prejudices, always keep our minds open.
If you are an open-minded person, creative and do not care about one's nationality, religion or gender then perhaps we can become friends. No prejudices towards anyone and hopefully we will not meet anyone who will be offended by who we are, where we come from...
We are a mixture, combination of both introvertism and extrovertism, happiness and sad reflections. We try to enjoy life or at least make it enjoyable. We are quite straightforward people and this is something you can expect from us, no dishonesty or false complements, we treat people with respect which means that we don't lie to them. Everybody deserves that. We are more into old-fashion styles, not that much into modern life, we love postcards, writing letters, collect old records, books and never do things only because it's fashionable to do so....well, some people might say we are weird but in very positive way.

We still manage to survive on this planet, surrounded by selfish, greedy people with fake personalities.
Seriously, we are yet to do something amazing...
