Do you ever feel the need to immerse yourself in art? When does this need arise for you? For me, it arises when I haven’t had the chance to create something new for too long, something that I would be satisfied with. I start to feel like I’m trapped in a dreadful routine, and my brain stops exerting itself. It’s…

AIGUES-MORTES – MARTWE WODY
There are two types of travelers: those who are always drawn to new places and want to visit as many as possible, and those who keep returning to the same familiar spots. I belong to the latter category. *** Są dwa typy podróżników: ci, których zawsze ciągnie w nowe miejsca i chcą zobaczyć jak najwięcej, oraz ci, którzy ciągle wracają…

END OF A STRANGE YEAR
It was a very strange year … A year at home. Like domestic animals, we had to get used to our corners, our mess, our home problems – big and small, furniture, neighbors … The option “go out and close the door behind you”, get some air, cool down, leave – it ceased to count. It was here and now.…

CHANGES, CHANGES, MORE CHANGES
It was the beginning of the year. January. We sat at a table in the restaurant, happy to find a seat. As usually, we talked about everyday things, about who was doing what during the week. Nothing special happened in our lives, except that rumors of some kind of virus spreading quickly among the people of Wuhan reached us from…

GAME OF THRONES EXPERIENCE
I’m not such a big fan of “Game of Thrones”, but I watched all seasons of this series. Like many similar productions, it began promising, and then its quality gradually deteriorated, and the last season turned out to be a great disappointment. However, I was glad to see Dubrovnik, the film capital of the Seven Kingdoms. *** Nie jestem aż…

THE CITY IN BETWEEN SEASONS
It is amazing how much the same place can change depending on the time of day and the whims of the weather. This season the weather was exceptionally beautiful. The sun was reflected in the windows and glass walls of modern buildings. The world seemed magnificent, luminous, joyful. Pure gold. Every day we accumulated energy for the melancholy-rainy season approaching…

RUINS OF THE LAROCHETTE CASTLE
Ruins of castles are really magical places. The walls embedded in the rock, rugged and ravaged by time, seem to hide thousands of untold stories. Just imagining the stages of building such a medieval castle makes a shiver run down your spine. How many people had to sacrifice their lives to build a defensive castle on such a high rock? Looking down…

CHÂTEAU D’IF
blacker than the sea, blacker than the sky, rose phantom-like the vast stone structure, whose projecting crags seemed like arms extended to seize their prey Alexandre Dumas “The Count of Monte Cristo” A trip to the Château d’If is an attraction for really patient tourists, but the impressions from the trip are unforgettable. To avoid the horrors of driving the car…

THE FOUR TYPES OF MEN
Apparently there are four types of men: losers, users, boozers and bores. A girl can love a boozer – (Leaving Las Vegas with Nicolas Cage). She may also fall in love with the user and loser, but no girl will love the bore. Unfortunately, there are many nice, attractive boys in this category. When I asked about the types of women, he…
