Sport. Travel. Adventure.
These three words are more than just interests to me. They are who I am. They are also the reason I’m rarely at home, frequently exhausted and occasionally wondering, “What the f*ck is happening?”, “How do I get out of this alive and in one piece?” or the timeless classic: “God, just let me survive this and I promise I’ll never do it again.”
Which usually ends with me doing the same thing again the next day. Sound familiar? 😉
I’m a 25-year-old amateur endurance athlete and adventurer from Poland. I’m always looking for the next challenge: another mountain to climb, another finish line to cross, another country to explore or another slightly ridiculous idea to turn into a real adventure.
So far, those ideas have taken me through marathons, triathlons, obstacle races, urbex exploration, mountain expeditions, climbing, scuba diving, skydiving and road trips across Europe. I’ve climbed Mont Blanc, completed the Alta Via 1 in four days and visited 38 countries around the world – mostly while sleeping in a car.
I’m not a professional athlete or a full-time traveller. Between adventures, I occasionally work and study sport. I definitely don’t have everything in my life perfectly figured out, and things don’t always go according to plan. In fact, they often don’t, haha.
Sometimes an adventure ends on a mountain summit with a smile frozen onto my face. Sometimes it ends with a broken spirit, lost equipment or yet another Fiat heading to the scrapyard.
Fortunately, without bad experiences, there would be no good stories to tell 😉
This blog is where I collect those stories before I forget the details and replace them with a suspiciously heroic version in my head. You’ll find mountain adventures, race reports, road trips, practical information, useful tips, mistakes, lessons, photos and probably plenty of crazy things you shouldn’t try yourself.
Or perhaps you should…
What’s next?
The current plan is to:
- Visit every country in Europe – and maybe, one day, every country in the world
- Run legendary ultramarathons such as UTMB and Lavaredo
- Climb all nine peaks of the Crown of the Earth
- Keep adding new goals faster than I can complete the old ones
That’s where you come in.
Know an unusual race, a wild trail or an adventure that sounds like a terrible idea? Send it to me on Instagram. My decision-making skills are questionable enough that I might actually do it 😉
The adventure is just getting started.
