My name is Beata. I was born and live in Tarnów, Poland, some 70 km from Kraków.
I like travelling because it lets me escape everyday routine, because I like discovering interesting places and things, meeting different people, experiencing things, generally. I never plan my trips to the last possible detail, I often leave things to chance and it gives me a thrill of adventure.
I like visiting all sorts of places; I like big cities for the culture and entertainment they offer. I love places where you can feel close to nature, national parks, nature reserves, or the simple countryside. I'm a great fan of hiking and I can recommend the still unspoiled beauty of Polish mountains to everyone. I'm very fond of animals, too, both wild and tame. I used to have a dog, now I keep a cat and I adore her, though the love is hardly reciprocated :)
I'd love to travel more. Compared with some other VT members I feel a mere travelling toddler. The place I'd like to visit most is New Zealand. The place that has fascinated me most so far - impossible to say.
I only speak Polish and English. I've never been able to learn German, probably because I've never tried hard enough.
I'm terrible with numbers, names, and all kind of factual information, so if you find any mistake of that kind on my travel pages, please, let me know. I must say I care more for the experience of the place than the facts I learn, though it's not always a rule.
Anyway, hope you'll enjoy my pages if you care to have a look :)
I've stumbled upon none, actually, but discovered a few cat related places :)
1. A nice Cat Gallery in one of the old. narrow streets surrounding the Church of Our Lady on Tyn.
2. I had lunch at a restaurant called 'U dwou kocek' (At Two She-Cats)...
3. ...and a beer or two at a greal traditional pub called 'U Zlateho Tygra' (The Golden Tiger). A tiger's a cat too, right?
Prague
Stray cats I saw somewhere on the way from Hurghada to Luxor. They were hungry and I think they relied on tourists as the only source of food.
Hurghada
1. The hostel's pet - the big orange beauty (in the picture - waiting for its bowl of milk at the hostel bar)
2. Cats museum.
3. An advertising poster featuring two incredibly cute cats.
Amsterdam
There was one cat visiting our hotel at meal times. No picture taken, however, I kept forgeting to bring my camera to the restaurant. Here's a picture of a cute puppy wandering about Goreme Open Air Museum instead :)
Alanya
A word of explanation. I'm not nuts, I just happen to like cats, animals in general. And I figured presenting my travels from this unorthodox angle would be more fun :)

Happy Birthday Beata! Have a great day!
Gorgeous cat Beata!
And thanks for the visit and comments on my page.
Czesc ;) yes... we mean 'yuck' by 'fuj'... good to know Polish would understand if I say 'fuj' somewhere - best to avoid it then, hehe :)
happy birthday, beata... wishing you many more travels this blessed year :-)
Hi Beata - wishing you a very happy birthday! Have a wonderful day. I see you take photos of cats during your travels the way I take photos of dogs during mine. :-)
Hi Beata! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2010 for you and your beloved ones! You are very, very welcome for Euromeet 2010 in Krakow, Poland! Please, think over it. We all need you in Krakow! We miss you! Smiles from both matcrazies ---> :-)))
Hi Beata! Really? I mean I do know about streets called Petofi in neighbouring countries, but as far as in Tarnów...not bad :) Thanks for visiting, have a nice week, Attila
thanks for the note. I absolutely want to visit Zakopane this trip. Did I tell you about the artist w/ g.father's name who has a studio there? Tarnow is also lovely...but of course I am headed to g.father's village for more searching. Maybe we will meet!
Your next trip? Make it really unique! It's not too late to attend WM08 - Jerusalem, Tel Aviv & Dead- Sea on 25- 28th Sept (+Petra 29-30th). We want to double the num of attendees to 100! Click to learn where, when, what, how, how much! Avi [FruitLover].
Thanks for stopping by my London page and leaving the comment. I did enjoy the museum, and you;re right - it is easier then trying to travel around the world to see everything. But I want to do that too! :)
