Born and raised in Poland with some over-active adventure gene, my luck sent me to India when I was 16. I spent two years there completing the high school diploma at Mahindra United World College, but it wasn’t enough.
So I traveled, worn off my backpack, and moved to the US to finish college. That’s still an on-going process, so I distract myself traveling to ‘newer’ and ‘newer’ places, looking for one to call my own.
I think it will take a while before I settle for anything. In the meantime – enjoy!

wspaniały plan.. skąd Ty znajdujesz na to energię? (pytanie o pieniądze byłoby nietaktowne, ale też potwornie mnie to nurtuje.. :))
Hej :)! Dzieki! Energia zbiera sie sama podczas roku szkolengo, z frustracji, ze zmeczenia rutyna… i tez z determinacji do spelnienia wlasnych marzen. Uwielbiam podrozowac. A pieniadze? Poszczescilo mi sie ze stypendiami i teraz pracuje dorywczno na studiach i kumuluje co sie da na kolejne wyprawy. Wbrew pozorom da sie dotrzec naprawde daleko za naprawde zaskakujaco male pieniadze. Pozdrawiam!
I really like your blog, UWC brought me here, how was MUWCI because I have applied to the UWC just have to pick my top three to take to the interview :)
Thanks! MUWCI was amazing, I think each and every one of the UWCs is very special and provides for a one-in-a-lifetime experience. Good luck with your interviews!
Hiya, cheers for the like! I’m also hooked on adventuring and traveling (and chocolate). A couple of my friends went to UWC. Looking forward to reading more of your experiences in Central America :)
Oh, this world is so small! Thanks for visiting, your post made me so hungry after eating rice, beans and fried egg for 10 days straight, haha. I’ll definitely keep my eye on your voyages! Good luck!
adventure, travelling and chocolate works for me – can we take music too?
How fun! It’s so inspiring to find people who are not bound by their current situation/where they live/where they work…what a neat life you live!
Cheers to adventure!
Thanks and indeed, cheers!
What a great photograph at the top of your blog.
Thank you so much! My Dad took it when we were traveling through Ecuador.
I’ve been enjoying your blog a lot and have nominated you for a couple blog awards! If you’re interested you can visit: http://ltclifeonhigh.wordpress.com/2012/07/18/the-love-just-goes-on-and-on/
Really enjoying your blog–especially your post about making the playground area for the kids. Those small things can really make a difference in their lives. Thanks for what you’re doing.
Thank you for visiting! And yes, we also believe that everything matters – small or big, to make a difference you have to do… something :)
I, too, enjoyed the tire turtle. Since becoming a mother, I have become such a softy for the little things that make a huge difference in a childs’ life. Keep doing what you are passionate about…it is often said that the thing we spend the most time doing is (with joy, that is) what we should be doing!
I really hope so! Continuing that sort of effort as an actual career would be great. Thanks so much :)
I adore you blog! Which state did you go to school in in the US?
Oh thank you! I’m in RI right now, still 2 years to go :)
How fun! That is one state I’ve actually never been too. What made you choose the US? :)
The differences in academic systems – I really liked the idea of Liberal Arts education and freedom to choose/change majors along the way. In Europe you usually have to stick to the one choice you make right after HS and… I don’t think I was entirely ready for that. Sorry for the late reply! Hope you get a chance to visit RI some time!
No worries at all! Sometimes, I don’t see something for weeks and then finally respond…
Yeah, I definitely prefer the typical European school system.
Just happened to run into your blog. You have got a beautiful space running here. Loved some of your write-ups and travels. Its very subtle . I guess I will be hanging around here a lot. :)Great work
Thanks so much! As you can see, I’m not around much now, but I am so happy to hear there are still readers!
What wonderful opportunities you have had to be able to travel overseas for study :-)
We look forward to seeing what other travel experiences you have into the future! Happy travelling.
