You know I do love traveling, don’t you? I truly do, but unfortunately have no enough time to do some really great trip. Maybe in few years I’d decide to make my dream come true about Round The World Trip. But to be honest, I don’t reallybelieve I’d do such in next 3 years. But still, I can remind myself my beloved trips from past and dream about another. I really miss my team from students exchange toFinland, but by landscape nothing can beat Bornholm. Sailing there and docking into it’s hidden between rocks ports was amazing. Maybe I can’t travel so much at the moment and in next months I’d be even less available to (I have last semester before my diploma), but always I can focus on my friends or other well known to me travelers. Today, I’d love to present you one of them - Zaor. Lucky bastard gone there where I want to go mostly - Asia. Directly I mean Angkor Wat and other ancient things on far east. Of course, we may say - what exactly exciting and uncommon is in it? You take a plain and just go. In that way I can say I’m trulyjealous to Daniel - who went to China. But Zaor did it in different way. He went from Poland to far east by hitch-hiking and public transport. He spent nights in tent in the middle of the steppe. He toke a photo with Buddhist version of Tadeusz Rydzyk*. So just check his blog and gallery - really worth reading. Tadeusz Rydzyk - very rich Polish priest, owner of biggest Christian radio in Poland. To describe him we can use parody of Visa Card Commercial made by Szymon Majeski:

I woke up just after whole night of learning and doing some practices. My eyelids seems to be heavier than lead and my back feels like after a car crash. I take a cup of coffee and start to write it. Even if I can’t find pen to my tablet, that’s the best way to start a day. Even to forget about that I feel sick, ill and so terrible. For the moment I can focus on dozens of my friends on WAYN and other not on WAYN yet… I can think about all the good days I’ve spent in my life. All the feelings that made me feel I can fly. I still collect them deep in my heart and don’t even think to forget them. Some experiences are priceless. I still have some small talisman. Thing that makes me feel safe… I love to wear it. That’s a gift. Maybe I’d show it to you someday or you would see it hanged on my neck when I’d be around… I think I would. Never before I have been thinking about ”Round the World” Trip seriously. Maybe not in this year… not in next and another. I think that about 2010 or 11… I’d be old enough to think about thing I should do before thinking about life stabilization. That would be something great. Not just a organised trip by plane. No… I think about real trip, when I move on my feet or by the public transport with common people. When I live in such houses as they do. When I eat what they do. When I spend my time how they do. When I’d see all the things I want to see: Angkor Wat, Khmers ancient city deep into jungle, Great Wall, Xi’an, Machu Pichu, Tikal, Teotihuacan, Petra, Giza… I’d also love to reach both polar poles and climb on Mount Everest… Do I dream? Yes, I do. But what is better in life than dreaming? Maybe I’d be able to reach this target only in half, but at least I’d may say in future - “I’ve tried”… You know me… I’d hate myself if I wouldn’t. I’m born to fight, to try, to care about my dreams. Because every single day I really believe that they come true. Not only about RTW…

Now I know. To go from continental ice to geographical North Pole you need at last seven weeks. Another reason why really extremal round the world trip should last at least one year. I wonder how it’s about South Pole. Antarctica is much bigger, but you can start from any distance you wish… I still not know what I’m thinking about. I mean being on poles or to conquer poles. Need to think about it seriously. I don’t want to travel everywhere by plain. I wish to use it only when I’d have to. I truly need to read a bit about it. Still have several years to think and prepare. I may take some new experience on autumn. There is a chance to go to India. To be honest I have to tell that I’d wish to go. But everything depends on how busy I am. Ah… I lost some inspiration… I had it few minutes ago… Need to think… Yes. Now I know. Maybe I should prepare some map that I can spot my wish targets on. Then I’d put some info about this places and about traveling from one to another. There always should be some plan… But… I may bore you by this talking about traveling. Sorry. I live in travel world, I work for travel company and I just can’t stop thinking about it. It’s just the best way to describe my state at the moment. I think about traveling. I feel like traveling and I have to travel. I don’t mean that’s my duty or I want just go away from my town. I don’t. I love to be here. I love that what I do and I really feel that I’m in the best way to increase my skills and properly use these that I already own. I mean about traveling once, twice a year to places I have never been and collect experience before travel of the life time… Am I too focused on my self? If so? Is it bad? Someone has to be focused on me. That’s most normal state at the moment… I lost vain… My mind is empty like this hills on pic… Maybe because I’m tired. Or maybe because I’ve lost something… Both… About being tired… I’ll take a rest. About losing anything. There’s always other WAY(N), isn’t there? Oh. About WAYN… For members: check great adventure on Atlantic2006. For not (yet) members, just check how WAYN cool is. PS, there is party on Friday, I’ll try to take some photos and upload them.

Luck have many faces. I may say I’m very happy and lucky, or am I not? I have much of experience that gave me a chance to find great job. I have wonderful team to work with and party with (see latest photos in gallery). I have loving family and friends that really are supporting me. I have really great plans for future as you can see in notes below. But is that make me happy person? I hope so. I don’t want to think that there is something that can make me unsuccessful. But still. There are things that can make me sad… Did I missed something? Did I lost anything? Do I regret? No. I would never regret any single part of my life… Even if I know that missing this time would kill me… Remember, never regret anything… Even if that means suffer… That’s the only way to happiness.

I was in Czech. Is that what I suppose to write about? Probably. But I think I would write more about it on WAYN. Here is place for my own thoughts, feelings. So what about them? What do I feel now? What do I dream about? I sit next to bottle of Czech beer and try to summarise my day. Much work done. I think that’s good. After my trip I feel much more power inside me. It was really good to just forget about allresponsibilities and do something cool. Only my back hurts a bit after my first time on snowboard. But I think it was good enough as for me. Next time I will have morefitted equipment and be in better form. But even now, I do really think I learned much and next time would be just about great fun on snow. I hope so… Last days I spent much time to repair my contacts with old friends. It isn’t quite easy when you have very large contact list and not much time to share. I think that wayners who would like to become my pen-pals should understand it. I am not even very popular on WAYN at the moment, but my inbox is still overloaded and I have no chance to reply to every message. So that’s why I wish you people to use comments on this or on WAYN blog. But back to friends. As far as you probably know most of them are in UK at the moment. So I have no chance to meet them recently. But in age ofInternet no borders are unbreakable. Also I think that good chance to meet some of them would be March when I suppose to go to London for very first time. I’m still a bit confused and lost in all things I should think about before I go. But I think it will be another great trip.Pity, that it would be very short trip, but still a little adventure ;P. Who would be there between 7Th and 10Th March? I’d love to have some company over there. What about next destinations? Not sure really. As I said I’m very busy last time. In half of February I go back to University and all the time I study Russian and just started with Japanese. This year I have to defend my diploma of economics, so when I compare it with thousands of great WAYN projects, I think that before summer or even autumn I’d have no possibility to go anywhere. But I don’t think that’s bad. Even better. These trips would seem to be much more exciting after such great and hard work. I hope you’d cheer me up in this time :). What else. I don’t know. As I said, about trip to Czech I’d write on WAYN, but not today. I still wait for some photos. On the end I would like to say thanks to all the pals visiting my profile and my blog. I see that last changes aboutcomparing it with WAYN and promoting it on rate blogs helped me to expand readers group. I appreciate it much, really. Take care my friends and to next note.
