Bialowieza is an especially interesting destination for a weekend trip. So we decided that one of our holiday plans would be a trip to the Bialowieza Forest. On Friday after work, we set off for the Podlasie region. We stopped at a forest car park, about 20 km north of Hajnówka. We set up a …
We always knew that there was a desert in Poland, but somehow we never managed to find it until now. In June 2023, we were returning from the Polish Historic Rally and realised that the desert was waiting for us to return home. Despite the fact that we were travelling in an auto-rickshaw with a …
About pandemic time travel – a year later Let’s just say that covid has grown into our climate. On leaving the house we already naturally check for keys, phone and mask. Social conversations are the news of the number vaccinated, border restrictions and “will there be a fourth wave”. Last year we went all around …

During the preparations for the trip, we were facing the question of how to dress the children. Warm and comfortable On the one hand – warm, on the other hand comfortable. It was obvious that they would play in the snow. We also had to take into account that we would not have the conditions …
From time to time we get the question: what to pay attention to when buying a Saab 9-5 NG, or what maintenance costs to expect. This is why we decided to write the answers in one place, having experience from several years, many journeys and no (major) failures. So, if you have the experience, maybe …
Even the best driver may find himself at the wrong time and in the wrong place. A moment of inattention (not necessarily ours) and boom – accident. This is what happened to us on December 24, 2019, in Oktiabrsk, on the Volga River, a little bit east of Syzran, when, after seeing the longest railway …
