Every Day in Poland Brings More Adventures

Summer at home, working, flew by faster than I could handle - I went to work, came home, went out locally or maybe for a nearby hike, then went to bed, work, and repeated this daily. Summer turned to fall, fall to winter, winter to spring, and then it was summer again. Yet, mentally, I still felt as though I was stuck in the previous summer, and I hard a hard time comprehending that it was already one year later. I was saving money this whole time because I knew I needed to leave, to travel, to experience more of what the world had to offer once again.. as my last journey was three years ago. My company closed, and it was the perfect opportunity to once again follow my dreams, and I did. I bought a ticket to Poland... and left. Everyday here is the most amazing adventure that I could ask for. I feel as though time is no longer flying, nor that I am stuck, but that I am slowly, gracefully, and spontaneously moving forward - living on the edge, living one day at a time with no idea what the next day will bring, living life the only way it should be experienced - doing the things we tell ourselves we cannot. Forgetting routine, leaving worries and stress and problems behind. Going and doing whatever I feel like, whenever I want to. No boundaries. Nothing stopping you. No fears. I spend my mornings in different cafes, sipping on different coffees and teas, with my best friend Ewa Klemencja. I spend my afternoons in ancient towns and cities, not only being lucky enough to observe different cultures, but to be emerged as a part of the cultures - French, Polish, German, etc. making many new and exciting friendships. To not know where tomorrow will bring me - to the south of Poland? To my family's home village? To Prague? Hungary? Germany? Croatia? Paris? Finland? Everyday is a new adventure, a new life lesson, new discoveries, a new surprise. This is the life I am living, and that I will continue to live. Nothing beats traveling. No, nothing beats exploring different countries, which encourages you to grow, learn, and explore within yourself So travel! Find yourself!
