Revolutionists, dictators, liberators, communists and murderersRewolucjoniści, dyktatorzy, wyzwoliciele, komuniści i mordercy
León, Nicaragua, February 2014 I didn’t ever think that I’ll be interested in politics or I’ll even write about it here. A year ago, shortly before my first trip to South America I’ve read “Latinoamerican Fever”, a book written by Polish author, Artur Domosławski. The book made it clear that a trip to South America…

The best orange I ever had was stolen…Najlepsza pomarańcza jaką jadłem była kradziona…
…by a bunch of dedicated Christians from San Diego county in California. Autumn 2009, somewhere in the middle of my hitchhiking trip across United States, during a visit I paid to my friends I met a month ago in South Dakota. My friends used to introduce me to their friends, after some time I realised…

Guns On the Streets of Guatemala, El Salvador and HondurasBroń Palna Na Ulicach Gwatemali, Salwadoru i Hondurasu
In El Salvador such view isn’t anything special. Every bigger shop or office shows this message for anybody willing to enter with any weapon. Furthermore, if the business is big enough, there will be an armed guard nearby. Small grocery shops cannot afford that so they are usually protected by metal grating. Some businesses have…

A Visit in Honduras, Patagonian Express, Border Vultures and Lots Of Pictures From The RoadWizyta w Hondurasie, Ekspres Patagoński, Hieny Graniczne i Mnóstwo Zdjęć z Drogi
I left San Salvador on Friday and since then I didn’t see any other European or American tourist. In the meantime I made through the border with Honduras, which was a hassle as usual: Border vultures running after moto-gringo. Speeding up and trying to loose him doesn’t help. Actually it makes the vulture more determined…

Everyday Life, San Salvador Życie Codzienne, San Salvador
My favourite thing about travelling on a motorbike is that it is always ready for me to take a ride, especially when I am just staying in a bigger city. It gives me loads of independence and I can easily forget about crowded buses and traffic. On a motorbike, even in a such a big…

Salvadoran Presidential Election 2014Wybory Prezydenckie w Salwadorze 2014
Most of you probably don’t know, but right now El Salvador is having presidential election. When I’m writing this all voting centres work hard, the city is crowded, noisy and full of positive vibe. Every party is trying to convince unconvinced to vote for them. Methods they use are loud music, dance and scream. So…

El Rosario in San Salvador, Sci-Fi Style Church That Looks Like Plane HangarIglesia El Rosario w San Salvadorze, Kościół w Stylu Science-Fiction
From the outside the thing looks more like an airplane hangar than a church. A peek inside opens fascinating world of modern art and unbelievable composition of shapes and colours. Best church ever! The construction was finished in 1971 and since then the building was probably an inspiration for some Sci-Fi movies, starting with „Cube”…

San Salvador, The Capital City of San SalvadorSan Salvador, Stolica Salwadoru
So I finally left El Tunco today. I took a short ride to San Salvador, let’s see what is going to happen here. San Salvador volcano and World Trade Centre building. After strolling around for 30 minutes and looking for Asian food I eventually gave up and ended up in… Well you still have much…

On Sunsets, Mount Everest, People and… El TuncoO Zachodach Słońca, Mount Evereście, Ludziach i… El Tunco
I saw a sunset yesterday. A short motorbike trip led me to the coastal viewpoint, the place from I could see something I cannot really express. Standing on a cliff I could see all the waves and reflections. Feeling quite melancholic I entered the land without a time. Moments like that, while climbing this metaphoric…

El Tunco: Unexpectedly Long StopEl Tunco: Niespodziewanie Długi Przystanek
My hideout. When somebody asks me how long I am here in El Tunco I answer ten days. When they ask me how much more time I plan to stay I respond that it just depends on the surf. Good weather, surfing and cheap hostel dorm (7 USD) was enough to keep me here for…
