Kurdistan revealed

Having Iranian visas secured we were again free to visit places. And as the weather in Trabzon was cold and rainy we headed towards south coast.

Backpacker's Equipement

Travelling needs stuff. But the more things you have the less travelling you do. Anyways the reasonable minimum to be comfortable is at least a backpack, proper shoes, some clothes and sometimes sleeping accessories.

The Turkish Tea

Çay (meaning tea in Turkey) welcomed us even before crossing the border. We were invited for a glass of Çay by the Turkish driver just because we were passing is lorry. Drinking tea seems to be the most important habbit for Turks. It happens everywhere and almost all the time. Even a dinner is just an apperitif for a tea.

Romania again

Romania decided to be important for us, so we decided to restart our trip from visiting that beautiful country.

Republic of Moldova

Joanna wants to visit Moldova, so our path leads us to Chisinau.

Friendly Maramures

After spending most of our trip in rural areas, we decided to try something else. We found CS host ‌in Baia Mare - north of where we were. On our way to Turda I lost my mobile phone. Then we managed to hitch very slow ride. It was about 39 degrees in a shade and the van was overloaded.

Chilling in the shadows

Thanks to quite new CouchSurfing feature called itinerary or 'open couch request' we were invited over  by great host Cristina. We stayed much longer than we planned or even than we could expect. It's quite common nowadays to call someone 'open-minded', but she is much better than this.

Nature of Transilvania

After long day on the road and spending another night under the stars, we finally made it to Salasu de Sus, where we were expected by our host

The best hitching in Romania

Romania is a great country for hitch-hikers! But first things first...

Gravitated to Rozbrat

Last few weeks was marked by seeking travel companion. Not much luck till now, but second candidate dragged me to Poznan, capital city of Greater Poland, crowds, traffic jams, pollution, noise. Something I generally avoid.

4 cycling days

Few days ago I decided to try cycling as an alternative way of travelling. There was no special plan apart of heading South-West.

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
