You can lose everything, but nobody will take away what you saw and what you experienced...

Aug 27, 2022 08:00 PM Back to Alaska!
Alaska Highway is one of the greatest engineering achievements of the 20th century. It was built during the Second World War to enable land transport of troops and equipment to Alaska, which was in danger of landing the Japanese. I want to travel this route, which is now over 2,200 kilometers long (and almost 5,000 kms with commutes from both sides). This is a great challenge for me and a great unknown - because there are only few places on the route that have something like public transport. And it was supposed to be different: I figured there would be two pairs of travelers, one would go to Alaska by ship and the other by a rented car. They will meet at their destination and change places, which will greatly minimize the cost of the expedition. We made the necessary reservations. Unfortunately, people have failed: I set out alone! Keep your fingers crossed, please! :)

Aug 26, 2022 08:00 PM Handy Sergei from Belarus...
I hosted Sergei and his friend Simon - two young students residing and studying currently in Wroclaw, South Poland. As you can imagine they did not have big traveller's output, I will rather say: the enthusiastic beginners. We were talking till late about my travels around the world. Sergei has Polish roots and speaks excellent Polish. In the morning after the substantial breakfast they offered me some help in the garden and it was appreciated. They helped me trim branches on two apple trees, for which I am very grateful to them :) I prepared the for them the city map explaining, where are the best places of interest. Nice and funny guests!

Aug 25, 2022 08:00 PM A lady from Santa Catarina...
Did you heard about Servas? This is old organization of the open doors, but more ambitious than Couchsurfing.
As a member of Servas since 1989 I recently hosted Lilian - charming Brazilian lady, originally from Santa Catarina in the Southern Brazil, now living in Europe. I have been to Santa Catarina state few years ago so we had a lot subjects to talk about...
Lilian is open - minded person, she had great languages skills, speaking even Japaneese. Imagine that she came to Poland to study Polish! And we were peaking Polish in my Wojtkówka! Great person, great time!

I have in my Wojtkówka an inferesting guest - Bekir, thee young engineer from Izmir, Turkey. Bekir speaks fluent English, he spend few months in the United States. We had a good time talking about the world, studying the maps and enjoying the good music. He gave me his suggestions regarding my planned trip along the Turkish Black Sea coast. Probably the number one Couchsurfing visitor in the whole year 2022!

It was hot day yesterday when I hosted in my Wojtkówka Tomasz and Cara. Tomasz know me since many years from the internet. He got a lot of info from my website kontynenty.net preparing his long travel around the world. He met Cara (she is from Brisbane) on the Emirates plane - both of them worked for this airline as flight attendants. Now they travel toogether. Very nice and knowledgeable people! We spent few hours talking about the world. They liked my fresh beans in the evening and the green breakfast :) Soon Thomas will join my 7 Continents Club - he already visited all continents.
On the second day they departed from Gda?sk airport to Norway. Happy journey!

Aug 13, 2022 08:00 PM My old friend in Wojtkówka
Imagine - it was year 1979 -. 43 years ago, when I met Piotr in the poor hostel in Tunisia during my travel across North Africa. Since then we are in touch, exchanging our knowledge, meeting during the Annual Meetings of Polish Globetrotters and helping each other. Piotr, now M.D. lives in Wroclaw, far from Gdansk. But today he was my valued guest in Wojtkówka. The evening was calm and warm and we were sitting till 1 am under the full moon on the terrace of my dacha sipping the rum and talking about travels and our plans... Thank you Piotr for your visit and see you maybe in Saudi Arabia!

I had once again interesting guests in My Wojtkówka. Zdzis?aw or Zdzich - as the friends call him is the yacht captain, he spent many months sailing around Mediterranean Sea. We spent few hours talking about different destinations and our adventures. Zdzich and his wife Halina are very nice companions. I offered them huge, fresh boiled on the spot califlower! And they liked is with a butter! Now Zdzich and Halina are driving the Europe with their campervan. Maybe someday I will join them?

Jul 29, 2022 08:00 PM Guest from California
There are already tomatoes and cucumbers in Wojtkówka ready to eat... My guests appreciate fresh veggies. Recently I hosted James from California. He made a choice of a small tent to sleep. Tent gives more privacy and you do not disturb other people sleeping in the cottage during the night - especially if you are forced to go out or in case you are snoring. There is a little pece of grass in the back of Wojtkówka to pitch the tent. James was happy there. Nothing like this in California!

Jul 23, 2022 08:00 PM Greatest Spanish traveller in Wojtkówka
I had a pleasure to host in my Wojtkówka one of the top travellers of the world - Jorge Sanchez. Jorge is my old friend. We met many years ago in Sana, Yemen. Later we were traveling toogether on Lena River to the Arctic Ocean and onward through Eastern Siberia to Magadan... I wanted to surprise Jorge and showed him on the outdoor screen my amateur video film from our expedition. He was happy... We had a good time!

Jul 22, 2022 08:00 PM Chapeau bas, Monika!
My old Friend, Monika Witkowska reached yesterday the summit of K2! We know each other since 30 years. For me she is the most-valued lady-traveller. Few people remember that before she started to climb the highest mountains of the globe she eas the brave solo traveller exploring West Africa even before I did - at the end of 20th century. Bravo Monika and watmest congratulations.
On the pic Monika is on my right.
