About Us

It's October 2022, we're in Crete and it just so happened that we've just published our 1,000th entry!
 
Here is a letter to all our faithful blog Readers:
 
None of the thousand entries would make sense if it did not end up in your laptops, tablets, computers or smartphones (smarfones, as the president of PiS says).
 
It is for you that we share what we watch, admire, criticize or experience.
 
We record important, interesting and our fresh observations on an ongoing basis, taking into account that for you (without false coquetry) these may be shallow, boring and cliché topics.
 
We do our best, sometimes spending a few hours a day to produce another entry in two languages ​​and prepare from several to several dozen photos for each entry.
 
Now for some statistics.
 
We started our blog with Thailand entries in December 2010!!
 
A thousand entries, tens of thousands of photos!!
 
26 countries on 7 continents. We have been to many of these countries several times.
 
Moreover, we are going to go back to some of them.
 
And if that is not possible for a thousand reasons, there will be time to put the entries and photos (appropriately edited) on paper.
 
For now, we do not intend to neglect the blog and we will continue to record our small and large tourist events.
 
Tonight, in a hotel in Crete, we will celebrate our jubilee and drink for the health of all readers of the blog: couple.travel.pl.
 
We love you all! 
Jacek and Adek
 

Now some history:

We have been travelling together the world round since 2000.

We have been publishing our experience on this blog since 2011. And although everyday entries are time-consuming (sometimes they fill up the whole night), we still like it and we still want to share our joy of watching the beauty of this world with those who know and believe that the world begins just behind our house thresholds.

Especially now (December 2017) it seems to us necessary to make ourselves and the others aware that we the Polish are not the navel of the world and it (the world) does well without us. And it does not need us, as we used to think. It is us who need the world. Just not to lose ourselves in the polonocentrism and getting choked with the disdain to others.

Our travels, the people we meet, the friendships we make, the delights we enjoy, and just the joy of the world we live in, should be apparent in our blog.

Take from it as much your heart desires to our satisfaction from sharing what we have on our minds and hearts ...

We consciously have left the entry from years ago:

Do you know why we do this blog ?

Is it:

- to boast on our travelling?

- to satisfy our own snobbery ?

- to follow the trend, as so many do it?

- because if you are not in the Net, you do not have life?

- to share our experiences with the family and friends?

- to keep our experiences to ourselves for the future years?

- to get fixed what too easily escapes from our minds?

- to creatively act in several areas (writing, photography, computers)?

- to please all who wish us well?

- to give a chance potential haters to let it go?

 

Actually, all these reasons contributed to the inspiration, and before our first long trip out of Europe, in November 2011 we launched our Traveller Blog.

After coming back home, we found that all of the above reasons got confirmed!

Recently, a "friend" wrote to us. He/she in very strong terms (not worth citing) instructed us that we were no travellers but ordinary tourists, and under no circumstances we can be called so.

We humbly accept the criticism and will continue to TRAVEL, and each time we will be asking the question: Are we merely tourists when we are on a bus going on a smooth road, or we are already travellers, when we jolt and rattle going by a local means of transport, away from any civilization, on a potholed road?

We have been together since February 2000. During that time, we spent a few months outside Polish. Is this a good reason for us to feel entitled to tell you more about ourselves? If it is so, this blog is intended to let you know us or know us better.

Stay tuned to our blog, enjoy what you are interested in and send comments! All signed will be answered!

Jacek and Adrian (Adek for friends)
