Local Travel

Maybe people arenot aware that kind of little travel is when they leave their houses.

It seems like they travel far away but they do not know their places. They wait one year to go on holidays but they forget that they can use each weekend and travel to.. their regional forests. They read in travel guides about piramids but they dont know the names of trees and birds which exist in their local nature park.

Not much is needed to move, to growth, to be inspired..

When writing about forest I can recommend the book of Peter Wohlleben who wrote: "The hidden life of trees".
You will change your perspective of observing when you walk or run in forest.


I chose a smart sentence: This is because a tree can be only as strong as the forest that surrounds it.Forest life can be a good imagin of our human life. We need each other. The most weak trees are supported by the strongest..  "Their well-being depends on their community" like in our human life. There are two thougts: We need people, nobody should stay alone. Second is that we behave as people who are our friends. It is so important to make a good choice with your environment. As there is one sentence in Spanish "dime con quien vas y te dire quien eres"  [tell me with who you go and I will tell you who you are]. 

Choose people who will help you to growth and be good, move yourself and travel to your nearest forest.

Switzerland!

26-31.12.2019

Krakow- Brussels, Brussels - Namur, Namur- St Jean d`Anniviers.

The motto of this trip was "Vamos a la playa". I repeated it very often. We went to the beautiful mountains in Switzerland.

We were driving the car from Brussels, through Luxembourg and France to Switzerland. There the beginning there was a bit frustrating.. but it is always the same when you leave the comfort zone

and you have to take a shower with some pretty spiders and sleep 3 people on two mattresses near the radiateur switched on the highest level without option to switch it off. First night was like sleeping awake.

Friday: I was able to find the wifi connection in Teabar to work as it was my laboral day.
Thanks my lovely job and company and of manager ofc I am able to work 'a distance'. I worked in Tearoom Salamin in Grimentz where green tea cost me 4,5 euro. 

Yes, i took it twice.. Two green teas .. It seems that I lost what i gained working there.
Switzerland is very expensive.



After work we were running with Olivia. We were talking about some km.. i thought 6 or 7 but finally we did 13. We ran up, then in the snow and through the villages called "Ayer", "Mision" and "St Jean".
It was hard to breath. I forget how to run in Icy air. My lungs or bronchi hurt me.

The next day:  vamos a la playa, we did trekking to Cervin. Snow, Sun and snow ;) There were very beautiful lanscapes.



















There: bread with pinabutter tasted as the the best sandwich ever.

In the road back we discussed with Val about the relationships and we summed up that without the attraction is not possible to build a good men-woman relationship. Of course as many people as many opinions and histories but it was what we decided to think.

LOTO - I thougt it s a joke, but it wasnt.. Girls took my to have some fun one evening and we came to place like in the basement. There were a lot of 'mountains' people. Olivia bought a game: 27 euro. We had to choose one plate with numbers. Guy was screaming the numbers and who had all numbers won: susages, wine..

Sunday was a shot day.. shot so short. We rented skate ski to try and practice, but after my 3rd km on it i felt so bad..i was loosing consciousness becasue of headache. Game over. Sierre Zinal was a shot.

and the last day was the wine day.. so good to drink hot wine when it is cold and nice people around.

We talked about everything.. some more knowledge for me about vegan lifestyle, suplementation B12, Fe.. you know what i am talking about.

29th we were driving home with beautiful memories, fresh minds, friendship and with the song in my head: oui ou non : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXyO57Eqcps


Thank you Olivia and Val for it. As we said HAPPINESS ONLY REAL WHEN SHARED

You gain anything if you just take things for yourself.. even if it is not 'touchable' thing like memories, smiles or discovered thing. Beautiful act is when you share your time, place or travel with somebody else.

Ciao

November Warsaw

Monday 18th November in Warsaw and "Kampinoski Park Narodowy"

The spontaneous travel is the best travel. Friend of mine was there so I took a flight from Katowice to Warsaw.. something like 45 minutes. 

I get there and I was able to discover a big Park called Kampinoski Park Narodowy with Congregation of the Franciscan Sisters Servants of the Cross.

Nice green place for one day out of my region.

Monday doesnt have to be hard.

November Madrid

I took a flight from Kraków to Madrid 23rd November.
I met some guys who went there for football match. We make a deal: spanish translation support for free ticktes in metro. Pourquoi pas? - I thought. I helped guys to talk with spanish people they paid me travel and I spent time with them and knew their 'sport lifestyle'. They said: "we dont like polish matches. We need to see the good strategy on football field and we found it with Spanish teams (FC, REAL)".
I checked in Hostel near to city center. It wasnot such expensive accommodation.. 25 euro. There I met Roberta from Bari. She was very interesting person. Such a brave girl, who came there to realize her ambitions, fight about her future laboral life. She rent a bed in hostel for one year to be able to live and study pharmacy. Such a good example to confirm the phrase "where there is a will there is a way". We talked about an unemployment in her homeregion in Italy, we discussed about situation of Ilva and opportunites of work in Bari.
Thank you girl for nice conversation and good luck!

I met with Michal, who studied with me tourism on bachelor. He lives in Madrid. We walked in Park "Parque de el Retiro" and talked about "life updates" and life in this capital. Fight for yourself Michal and good luck for you too!

Sunday 24th was quite long for me. I went to Catedral de la Almudena and then to eat breakfast- zumo de naranja of course then tortilla with cafe con leche - Thats the basis in Spain. There was funny dialogue with waiter:

"de donde eres" [where do you come from]?
"de Polonia"
"aaaa de Polonia.. solo una cosa que yo se sobre Polonia es que alli viven los Polacos, es verdad? hay muchos alli?" [just one thing what i know about Poland is that.. there live Polish, is it true? are they a lot?"
I love Spanish people!

I took the metro to airport and there i received a cat. Yes, cat you read well. I come to Madrid to take a cat and bring him to Poland. It was expensive cat +/ - 1000 euro.

I did check in and stayed near my gate to Kraków. Two spanish guys looking for the cat.. then one started to talk to me: "what a nice cat.. i have this same at home.. already 7 years", i answered "oh really? sincerely i dont like cats i just have to bring him to somebody". Then he said "cats are nice.. they are so quiet and lazy as me.." and his collegue joined to conversation and said "thats why i prefer dogs they are screwed up*as me"

*funny and crazy

I traveled with cat from Madrid to Warsaw then from Warsaw to Krakow.

any reason for travel is the good reason
