"Hey everyone" J4r0's Profile

Hey everyone

So, what should I say...

I'm Jarek. From Szczecin. Poland. Lawyer, amateur photographer, writer. Always feeling that the day should consist rather of 48 hours instead of 24.

I'm interested in the history and present times of Pomerania. You might have heard about this area: ruled by the dukes of the House of Griffith, independent until 1648, later on divided between Brandenburg in Sweden... In its heydays, the Duchy of Pomerania stretched from the Rugen Island in the west to Bytow and Lebork in the east; currently its area belongs to Poland and Germany. Its biggest and most important cities are Szczecin, Koszalin, Slupsk, Stargard, Stralsund and Greifswald.

I'm planning and hoping to write a guidebook around the area of the former Duchy of Pomerania. It'll take lots of effort, but I believe I'll manage to do this. Please keep your fingers crossed!
