Sweet Home Chamonix

Living alone for a while gives me a lot of time to think, to imagine, to invent and to consider. There are some new ideas in my head. Hundreds of them to be honest. Each one is better.

Baltic Yacht Racing

- Fancy some sailing? - my friend asked.
- Sure thing! - I replied without trace of temptation.

Decision was made quickly. Adventure is adventure. Isn't it?

Polish Road Outlaws

I'm currently bit occupied with helping on parent's house construction site. Because I'm driving occasionally I have opportunity to observe really dramatic situation on Polish roads.

Love, friendship and music - Woodstock Festival 2011

Martin Luther King, Mother Teresa, The 14th Dalai Lama. There's just some of Noble Peace Price Laureates.

Redneck for a week?

Hitching from Jajce to Lička Jesenica took much more time than I predicted. Happily locals turned out to be friendly and helpful as usualy.

Montenegro and back

Leaving Zelenkovac wasn't easy, but it was time to move again. American guy named after some peak in Rocky Mountains was waiting in Montenegro. Hitching trough all Bosnia was bit difficult.

Undiscovered Bosnia

After few nice days spent with new friends I was ready to go. This time my destination was Bosnia. I didn't know what to expect after crossing border,

Birthday in Croatia

Adventure is ON again! For last several days I'm on the road. I hitched from Poland (Lębork, Bydgoszcz, Wrocław) to Slovenia (Koper) and Croatia (Crikvenica, Prizna), but on my way to Bosnia

Heineken Open'er Festival 2011

So I hitchhiked, drove, came to Kosakowo very late, made smiley on my friend's car's hood with masking tape, slept on festival campsite next to loud and drunk neighbours, rushed to main stage

Favourite rides

During past weeks I had a lot of rides. I never count them, but something around 50, 60 I guess. Some of them were really cool.

Last weeks of freezing

Its been few days and I'm loaded with pictures. My selections is quite big, but I couldn't help myself.

Chilling Icelandic wind

Iceland welcomed me with bad weather. Only 2 degrees and moist, heavy wind blowing from the ocean. It quickly forced me to wear two pairs of trousers and two fleeces.

Dragged my feet in Copenhagen

According to plan some Icelandic volcano erupted and postponed my flight for over 30 hours.

Autobahn hitchin'

According to my ideal plan the route should have 1550 km. Reality is not that beautiful. I did over 1950 km. But happily I skipped heavy rain and sleeping outside.

The break is over

Its been quite nice 10 days (yes, ten days) of break in my trip. I came back to Chamonix for dogsitting.

Chasing setting sun

I woke up early to be able to hit the road at reasonable time. In vain.

Zagreb

Capital city of Croatia is mature, well maintained and beautiful. Walking on its old streets reminds of Prague or Barcelona, but compared to Catalonian city is way much calmer and cleaner.

Serbo-Croatian day

I had both Serbian ...

Things are getting crazy!

It's been very messy last days. I spent lot of minutes on sending couch requests with some joy. I packed my things and decided to not wait any longer.

Reviewing Polish way of life

I came to Gdynia to meet my friend and sister later. You can still see old construction from period of cold war.

Visiting post-soviet Poland

That was a long, long way home. 1700 km I guess. First thing impressed me when I crossed Polish border was low quality sett road just right after first exit of highway.

My last days in French Alps

Months have passed. There were a lot of adventures. A lot of people I'm gonna miss.

Some introduction.

Hi.

My name is Alan as you already know. I'm going to hit the road again and this time I wanted to share part of my experiences with you.
