At the market

A Saturday morning. We’d like to have good breakfast. This time at home. At Paweł's. We're going to a big market for shopping. There is not one European-style store in Takeo. There are no supermarkets or shopping malls. And believe me, the people here do not need them at all. It was tourism that ...

Begininig of the holidays in Takeo

It’s time to begin may holidays from today onwards. The groups have been cleared. Some people resulted happy, others were satisfied, and still another group found me as tyrant who did not understand what friendship was. The role of a group leader/ guide is extremely unfrateful.

They talked for a long time about difficulties, surprises and unfortunate events that took place during the ...

A six-people group decided to go out into the jungle for two days. The preparations lasted some time: each carries personal items, a hammock and two water bottles. Backpacks weighed more and more with each moment of trekking, and at a temperature of 30 deg. C scorched more than just struggling wit...

Our guides during work in the jungle

"Trekking in the jungle" - sounds uncommon, a bit mysterious, certainly exotic. Does it require fitness? Is this difficult? Is this for everyone? There is no unambiguous answer to these questions.
