cool, we are going to hitch hike again. i'm alive again.
I'm ready to meet people and see places!!!!!!!!!!!

I just realized-Thanks to Aldona -my dear friend and sister- my wishes came true!!!



It’s an interesting thing- sometimes we doesn't believe in something, it seems unreal, but we can do a lot!
we don't believe in ourselves. Sometimes we are just afraid of everything. We may think : we can't do this or that or we don't have enough money or just we can't, don't have or ... on and on and on....


My little story
how i start to believe in myself

When I was a child I didn’t even think about travel, I thought it’s far away from me, that I do not have enough money, opportunities , time .... i didn't even imagine me travelling.

It was aproximatly about half a year ago. Me and Aldona were talking about different things as usual and we started to dream about travel.

Aldona said we can travel far far away, sleep under the bridge, to have part time job, even work on the street making street performance(i start dreaming. what can I do? maybe i can be a clown? ), meeting interesting people, trying food ...

I was dreaming, but I couldn’t even imagine that one day it can be true.
I was afraid of everything.

Can you imagine yourself going somewhere without money (just a little), place to stay, people you know ...?
as for me it was nonsense at that time .

About half a year later I forgot about this talk and start thinking about travel.

I asked myself : "What can you loose?"
the answer was " nothing".

I saved a little money,but it was not enough for big trip ,train , hotel , meal...
I just had big desire to go.
I didn't scare. I was sure nothing bad will happen, I wanted to go. I didn’t know where I can go and how. I just knew I wanted to do something with my life, changed my way of living.
It was the happiest day in my life.

I went to the shop , bought a map, read some stories about travelers and hitch hikers.
I was hitch hiking in Poland with my friends before, sometime alone, but not far away.

I decieded I can do it!
It was the only thought was in my head!

I packed my bag , took my map and went on the road.
Someone told me about Hospitalityclub-organization in the Internet, where people from different countries can offer you place to stay.

I wrote to some people short messages asking them if I can come. they answered invited me to visit them.

I wished goodluck to myself and went to the start point in Warsaw in direction to Berlin.I hithhiked alone.

I remember that day.
It was a little rainy,
I didn’t have fear,
I didn't ask myself: "where are you going , where are you going to sleep, do you have enough money?"
I didn’t even know how long I want to travel.

But I was so happy and exiced! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I did it! I was hitch hiking alone.
Germany,
Denmark,
Holland,
then I met Aldona in Holland.
We went to France and Belgium.
I saw so many interesting people and places. For the whole my life I didn’t meet so many interesting people that I met during my trip. I was climbing, eating on the top of a tree, making movie, acrobatic, juggling, singing, listening amazing stories, eating strange food ….

It was the best experience in my life!

I have heard that travel addicted.
It’s true! When I came home I couldn’t imagine that it was the end of my journey.
I wanted to pack my bag next day and go, no matter where. I knew I can do it again and again.

Travel is amazing thing ,


You can learn something new every day,
You can't get bored.
You feel You live every day.

We had a lot of funny stories,
when you do not have place to stay, it’s cold , you are ready to sleep on the street, then you meet people who give you the roof under the head, bed and breakfast in the morning. it's wonderfull feeling!What can be better? !

Thanks everyone who I met and going to meet in my life.

I was planning my hitchhiking trip.
First I was thinking to go to Scandinavia, then I changed my plans and wanted to go to Turkey and Syria. I was so excited, I had my little plan, I was preparing, I couldn’t wait for it.
Can you imagine someone, who are really waiting for something-it was me.

I was planning to start Monday.
Sunday I went for a walk.
Everything was prepared- my badpack, plans, dream , ideas.
I was so happy.
I was thinking only about my trip. I was going to hitch hike.

Sunday evening me and my friend Ola went for a walk and someone stoll my wallet with all my documents. Can you imagine ?
all my dreams and plans were distroyed in one moment.
What should I do now, what can I do? how can I go.?
I realized I can not go.
I was so sad, it was not about the money or documents, all about my dreams and plans.




Next day I tried to find out how long I have to wait for new documents. I was told about 5 weeks.
What? 5 weeks? I can not wait for 5 weeks.
What can I do?
I want to go, travel, meet people, see new places.
Ye, sometimes life is cruel.

On the one hand I was so sad, because of this situation, but on the other hand I learnt a lot.
I understood a lot.
Life is unpredictable and interesting, you never know what is going to happen.



Now I do not want to have big plans , dreams.

I just want to live tere and now.
If you want to do something and you have the opportunity , you just have to do it wright at that moment.

Me, Aldona, Pawel and Piotrek went to Plock to Reggue concert.
There were a lot of singers, people and a lot of fun.
We could swim, drink beer, listen to the music, ate amazing and big pizza! Funny and nice weekend.
.

i used to write about Mirka before, we met her in Prague and spend New Year together.She is really big friend of mine now.

before I went travelling she came to Warsaw (in April for some days),
we also hitch hiked to Torun eat great and tasty PERNIKI

and Gdansk and trojmiasto.
It was great!
I laughed a lot with her. she is so positiv and nice. I really like her.
thanks to Mirka we met Toniwalia in Warsaw activ member of HC and CS.
we spend really good time at his nice restaurant. Then we were together in Berlin Beach Camp 2008 in May and came back to Warsaw from Berlin. we were listening Indian songs and dancing in the car. it was a lot of fun.
now we are going with Toni to Belarus. i think it will be interesting for him.

i was depressed hehe joke , not real depression.
i was travelling, it was so ccccccccccooooooooooolllllllllll!
i wrote about it so many times.
then i went back to my second home(warsaw), where i have my second family.
i could not believe that my trip is over, next day i wanted to pack my bag and go, go and go somewhere , everywhere.
i could not believe, it was like a dream, so many places i saw, so many people. it was like a different world for me, i want more.
i became addicted to travell.
I would like to go to Skandinavian countries now.

some photos when Mirka came.

One of the real joys of the holiday season is the opportunity to say thank you for being a part of our lives and to wish you the very best for the New Year.

In the peaceful joys of Christmas, in the stars that shine above, In the wonder of the season, in the gift of God's great love...may you find hope and promise that will fill this Christmas season with very special happiness for you! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!


Szczęścia, zdrowia, powodzenia w dniu Bożego Narodzenia.
Beczkę piwa, wiadra wódki by odgonić wszystkie smutki.
100 całusów na dodatek by smaczniejszy był opłatek!

Merry Christmas,
Christmas Merry
były sobie renifery,
miały bardzo śmieszne minki,
bo urwały się z choinki
i znalazły ciepły kąt,
by Ci życzyć Happy świąt!


С Новым годом поздравляю,
Счастья, радости желаю!
Всем, кто холост, - пожениться.
Всем, кто в соре, - помириться.
Про обиды позабыть.
Всем, кто болен, - стать здоровым,
Расцвести, помолодеть.
Всем, кто тощий, - стать потолще,
Слишком толстым - похудеть.
Слишком умным - стать попроще,
Недалеким - поумнеть.
Всем седым - чтоб потемнели,
Чтоб у лысых волоса
На макушке загустели,
Как сибирские леса!
Чтобы песни, чтобы пляски
Не смолкали никогда.
С Новым годом,
С новым счастьем!
Да минует нас беда!


Если в ночь на Новый год,
странный гость к тебе придет-
кто-то с белой бородой,
в красной шапке меховой,
с длинным посохом в руке
и с подарками в мешке,
с громким смехом,
с добрым взглядом -
значит больше пить не надо!

Finally i found a job. I like it.
it's a company that organize games, activities and exercises for building teams and corporate employee motivation.
It's really interesting!I have fun.

i can share some photoes.





Katowice


I decieded to visit my friend Robert.He lives in Gliwice near Katowice.
We (Aldona with me) went to Katowice one day. We walked aroud and went to the museums.
Actually i do not like museums, but this one was different.
It was amazing!

i'll try to write more about my last trips soon with photos.

some new photoes from our last trip to Katowice on my friend Aldona blog

http://my.opera.com/alldonna/blog/

My friend Marina sent to me some nice fotos and wrote:

My italian friend Franko wrote to me:

"just amazing!
Thanks to have me insert in your blog!"

"Hi Julia!
I love reading your blog!
I am glad everything good with you, guys. "

How are u, my friends?
I’m sorry I did not write for a long time.
So many things happened to me.
Let’s start.

In Siedlce we call "Jackonalia" students’ days. It’s time for srudents to drink, have parties, concerts and have fun.
The 22th of May was the first day of Jackonalia.
Aldona, Pawel and Inessa made banner with slogan Managemen.

Aldona and I disguised as a dolls.We did makeup and looked very funny.



Pawel, Inessa and Wojtek also disguised . we took part in Students' parade.


Then I was chosen as the queen of Jackonalia and even the crown was given to me.
I had to dance with the King on the stage.

It was funny!

Thanks to Aldona I became the queen, because she asked us to tak part in this parade.
At the evening it was a party and some polish bands played.
Some days before I met a guy from Italy, Franco.

Thanks to the Internet I met him. He had his vacations in Warsaw. We invited him to Siedlce to take part in this parade and party.
I think he liked it. He is a nice and openminded person, who travels a lot. Keep doing it!

I’m a member of student's organization (maybe I wrote before).
The 16th of May we organized the competition for students called “LMB”.
7 teams (3 students in each team)took part in the competition. They should have prepared the presentation on the chosen topik, answer the questions.
The last step was case study for 3 best teams.

It was hard to prepare all this stuff, I mean organize everything.
But we took pleasure in it .



Everything was done!It was great!

I’ve heard a lot about St.Petersburg before, but i’ve never had the opportunity to go there.
I decided to go. One day one of our teacher (Pani Stanczewska) told students that we can organize the trip somewhere (she proposed Indie or Russia). I was interested in going to Russia to St. Petersburg. Then we(me and some of my friends) started some preparation.
It was the long and difficult way to prepare everything, but we did it.

We went to the conference to St. Petersburg State Uniwersity.


there were a lot of surprises.
First - our train. It was real shock for our polish friends. As for me it was nothing strange.

Then we had some funny situations.
If u’ll ever go to russia , remember never take photoes or never use ur camere in the undeground.
We did not know and we were fined (we had to pay). We asked the policeman not to pay, but he did not want even to listen. We speaked with him in russian, maybe for this reason we payed only about 4$.
We visited a lot of places (museums, Carskie Siolo, Ermitraz...)



at night around 2 a.m. we went to see how the bridge was moved up.

on our way home we met guys from Ireland and together went to the disco.

We had a lot of fun and it was really good experience.

so many fotos!
Pawel and Aldona write your comments!
How did you like it, our trip?

now i can feel spring in my room.

why?why? and one more time why?



some of us can be happy almost all the time. we can smile, we want to dance , sing and fly!
but some of us can not sleep,they want to cry, they worry all the time, and they can not be happy.

why we can not help them and give some of our happiness to them.
why we can not help? how ?
you are happy almost everyday day, you want to live, you want to enjoy your life, but, maybe, one of your friend want to die, he/she does not want to live, can not be happy, smile and fly like you.
he/she does not see the sence of life.
how we can share uor hapiness with he/she?

surely, the worst thing in life when someone is dieing "in your hands" slowly and you can not help him/her. when you do not know how to help and what you can do?
i do not mean only physical death, also when someone's soul doesn't or tired to fight for existence in this world.
it's so sad.

i believe in strange and beautiful world, and maybe people like this can find nice place for them in the world.
i hope so!!!!!
i'm sorry for such pessimistic thoughts, but unfortynatelly in the world such people exist.
can you, guys, share with me your thoughts, please.
i can see how my friend is suffering, but i can do nothing.
i do not know how and what i can do!
it's a pity thing!

Thank you, my friends for your emails and comments. I appreciate it!
I’m glad you read my crazy thoughts, and some of you comment it.
One of my friend Bob send me email with his comments about what i’ve written “Just my thoughts” some days ago. You can read it below.



He wrote:
“It is important to always remember that we are all equal in life. It makes no difference if we are short, tall, man or woman. We all are smart on some day and not so smart on other days. Happy sometimes and sad sometimes. We all feel.
one of the most important elements in true love is mutual respect and being best friends. You must be respected for who you are. Not money or position but for who you are as a person. You must respect your lover who ever they are in the same way. Do not judge on looks but on the level of caring and feeling you both have for each other. Love shines when things get tough in life.

In all good relationships two people have to care and understand each other equally. A man and a woman have to care enough about each others feelings to listen with out judging. Love is developed over time. Love is the sharing of the mind, body and sole. Love is being best friends. Love is RESPECT. People truly in love do understand one another. Feelings and caring can be expressed in many ways. An embrace, a hug, a kiss or just being there when needed. Love is defined differently by different people. Love is a state of mind not a thing. What works for two people may not work for two other people.

Truly wanting to be with someone all the time and developing common interests together is love.

A man must understand a woman's feelings and a woman must understand a mans feelings. If you have that then it is possible to have love. Without this love can not exist.

Caring can result in love but love can not exist without caring.

You can not buy love. Love grows inside two people. Love is truly understanding that the perfect lover is not love, A tall or short person is not love, Looks is not love, money is not love. Love is a feeling. Yes men and women need the same things. What we all need is warmth, understanding and caring. We all need to feel cared about and we all need to be cared for.”

Thank you Bob for as always your nice words!

I’ve recently read one interesting and funny thing:

If a woman and a man want to have happy relationship, a woman has to understand a man and love him a little, and a man has to love a woman very much and not even try to understand her.

What do you think?


As for me, everyone( both a woman and a man) does not want to be single, all the time they try to find someone, with whom they feel great and want,can do everything.

Sometimes i can hear girls or women complaining about boys or men and vice versa, but we need the same: woman- a man, and man -a woman.
The world is strange.if we need the same why it is difficult sometimes to find someone you really like and love?


It’s funny to hear from woman/man that they don’t need someone, but inside they pray to find this person.
I want to believe in fairy tale and in true love, even though the world is cruel sometimes.




What do you think?
Don’t tell me that i’m strange and silly, i’ve heard about it a lot of times.

How do you think why so many devorces are now? People are not happy, children are sorrowful.
I’ve seen on TV one program about depression, one of the main reason of depression is (guess ?)... devorce.
Unfortunately, it is a big problem of almost every contry.
I’m sorry for this topic, but i just want to say, that we have to appriciate the value of who and what we have. It’s so important!
Before i did not pay attention to it, and i think the most important thing in our life are people around us: our parents, friends, relatives and just everyone on the street.

don't miss your train and don't waste your time. life is moving fast, we don not have the cance to control it.


Be happy everyone!

Hi everyone.
I’m sorry i didn’t write for a long time.
I was at home in Brest.
After i passed my exams here in Poland, i went home.
I spent time at home very nice.


When i studied at high school, I had very friendly and nice group. We used to have 21 person in my study group.When we used to study together, after classes we could go to park for a walk(almost all of our group) or to cafè. We celebrated New Year together. I mean we had a party 2 days before New Year. We had a lot of fun!
After graduating we had a tradition to meet every year. We are all students of different Universities now. It’s a tradition of high school in my country: in february graduates can go to their old school to meet their old teachers,to talk to them, to see their old shcoolmates. I think all schools have this tradition in my country and also they make a concert for graduates.
Every year i went to my school in february. More then 10 persons from my old class also come to school. I’m always happy to see them , because i don’t have the opportunity to see them frequently. Some of them(almost 10 persons) study at Uniwersities in Minsk, for this reason it’s hard for us to see each other. I’m happy that they try to come in februrary, that we can see each other and talk.
This year is almost 5 years since I graduated from high school, and for this reason we (my old classmates) had a big party. Iot was the 3th of February. It was 17 persons. I was happy to see them. Some of them i didn’t see half a year, some –one year, and some more then 1 year, we talked and danced. I had a great time!


couple days ago i was in Warsaw.

Sasha, it was nice to see you!
and i'm waiting for your fotos from Chine.
