Painting by Jacek Malczewski (1903)

We all say we love to travel but what do we travel for? I could throw in a few cliches and they would all be true... In short, I don't travel just for lovely beaches and night club indulgence, although this is my kind of fun too. But that I can have in my own hometown and a lot cheaper. Getting to know other places, their stories and their people is far more rewarding. As someone said: As you travel through the world, a sense of beautiful mystery seems to gather and grow... Well, I couldn't put it better, I just want this mystery to be my experience too!

The worst thing we can do on our journeys is to choose to stay ignorant, to give up asking questions and make assumptions instead. I believe in asking questions, it's better to appear to be a fool for two minutes than to never know the answer and stay a fool for the rest of your life... And never assume for it makes an A** out of U and ME, and the "beautiful mystery" passes you by! :-)

I took a long time off VT - my apologies to those who may have e-mailed me or left a comment and I never responded...

MY LATEST TRAVELPAGES

So much to see out there!

It will take time before I build my travelpages, but let me introduce you to some of my recent ones:

PLYMOUTH, Mass., USA ~ new! ~
Historical place where the Pilgrim Fathers landed in 1620 and established the first colony in America. A must for those who love history!

SOPOT, Poland ~ new! ~
A great seaside resort next to Gdansk, a favourite holiday destination for many Poles. Famous for its 510 metres long wooden pier and lots of fun places.

GDANSK, Poland ~ new! ~
One of top destinations in my country, a city of great maritime heritage, the birthplace of Solidarity and the cardle of the changes in Eastern Europe.

BARANOW SANDOMIERSKI, Poland ~ new! ~
A tiny town with one of the finest examples of Renaissance architecture in Poland: the aristocrat's castle.

SANDOMIERZ, Poland ~ new! ~
A charming little town that was once a Royal city. All of it is one large museum!

BRATISLAVA, Slovakia ~ almost all new! ~
Old, historic city that has seen many political and cultural influences. And it is fun to tour if you know what to look for!

SALEM, Mass., USA ~ updated a lot! ~
The historic city that is most famous for the Witch Trials of 1692.

PAWTUXET VILLAGE, RI, USA ~ almost all new! ~
It was in the little Pawtuxet, a National Historic Village now, that America's First Blow for Freedom was made. A beautiful place for a quiet weekend.

WASHINGTON D.C., USA ~ not so new :-) ~
An amazing city with history, grand architecture and powerful memorials. America's MUST, I'd say!

Why don't you take a look...? If you like some of my tips, please express your opinion by rating them or just leave a comment so I know you've been here :-)
