Countdown

I realized it is really September and it is the final countdown. Almost a year has passed since we left Poland. At the same time on the scale of experiences, feelings, knowledge this year was like five years. When I look at the map of our route I realize how much we did. At the […]

Star Trek

Long ago, during one of long flights on a business trip, do not remeber if it was Mauritius, India or Australia, I watched a documentary on Star Trek and its creator – Gene Roddenberry. What struck me was his vision, clearly showing that humanity somehow overcame the struggles between nations and came out united to […]

Joshua Tree

I do not know why but in my mind Joshua Tree was full of green even though I have never been there. The only other association was with U2 hit album so perhaps this is the source – Irish band from green Ireland and Joshua Tree. Green. Huh… It is brutal. It is not as […]

Moorea

Long, long time ago, in previous life, so about 2013 I saw a photo on instagram. The photo stayed in my mind and I was hoping to see the place with my own eyes one day. This day was today. Moorea is beautiful, a volcanic island with sharp, green peaks rising suddently from the sea. […]

Chiang Rai

To Vietnam

A time has come to cross a border once again. Vietnam we are coming. The trick was that we equipped ourselves with eVisas to avoid border scams and agency fees and not every crossing accepted them. The closest one to us did not. The next one neither but we did not fancy another 8 hours […]

When travelling proves you wrong…

I was going to Cambodia with a perception of a poor country with no hope. A country beaten by genocide and US bombs during Vietnam war and the civil war afterwards. A country where shooting ended less than 20 years ago and there are still no-go zones, where a wrong step is a step on […]

On filmmaking – first try…

We finally decided to start processing these gigabytes of videos on our hard drive into something an ordinary viewer could digest. Let’s be honest, 3 hours of diving footage may be interesting if you want to sleep but no one can handle watching all of this. In the process we learned a lot about filming […]

Reasons we travel

One of the reasons we decided to quit our jobs and go for a sabbatical was to show the world to our kids. And not just “the world” but rather “the world as it is now”. To be honest it is quite likely it will not be like this anymore when they grow up. So […]
