„On the road again
Goin’ places that I’ve never been
Seein’ things that I may never see again
And I can’t wait to get on the road again”
A.D. 1980 – Willie Nelson
Reporter, author of books, traveler, always driven by passion. That’s how I can describe myself now, but in a few years, it will probably change because I dislike stagnation the most; I love development, new challenges, and action.
In my journalistic passion, I particularly enjoy the stories of people I would never have met if I hadn’t decided to start writing. I am driven by curiosity, a thirst for knowledge, and I reject the commercial and thoughtless everyday life. Knowledge is fascinating, and when conveyed by another person, it is invaluable because it is subjective and fleeting. To truly understand the world, one must savor it, go out to meet people, and listen to their stories; for those who lack the time or opportunity, there are the books and films I create with others in mind.
I have been traveling for over twenty years. My favorite destinations are China, where I have been a dozen times, and the United States. I have spent particularly much time in Texas, Louisiana, Florida, and California. I also drove the famous Route 66 from Chicago to Santa Monica. As a result of my trips to the USA, I wrote three books: “Route 66, Mother Road: about history, legend, and travel,” “Texas is a State of Mind,” and “Louisiana Gumbo.” Texas is close to my heart not only because of the culture, the people, and the time I spent there, but also because in 2019 I received the title of honorary resident of the city of Bandera, the second oldest Polish settlement in the USA and a town that prides itself on being the world capital of cowboys. Bandera, which is my second home, received this title from the American Congress in 2016.
I am a sailor and a motorboater. I have skipper qualifications. I have raced in one of the most interesting regattas in the world—the Heineken Regatta in Saint Martin, in the Caribbean (as a crew member). I am a traveler because, as Ryszard Kapuściński said, “There is indeed something like being infected by travel, and it is a kind of disease that is fundamentally incurable.” I have felt this addiction for as long as I can remember, and I do not intend to fight it. I have been to most European countries. I drove from Warsaw to Gibraltar and further to Lisbon. I traveled one of the highest roads in the world, the Khardung La Pass, in the Indian Himalayas.

Texas – How Texans Saved Sea Turtles
In February 2021, Texas was hit by unprecedented cold temperatures not seen in modern history. The temperature dropped to 0 degrees Fahrenheit, or minus 18 degrees Celsius. The paralysis caused by the cold not only resulted in discomfort for people, with power and water outages lasting for days, but also for animals. Domesticated animals and…
Texas – Texas Rangers
An innumerable number of books and articles have been written about them, and many films have been made. They are an inseparable part of American culture and the myth of the Wild West. They participated in the capture of Bonnie and Clyde, prevented assassinations of two U.S. presidents, and today they deal with the most…
