It all starts with a need. Strong or weak, deep as the ocean or hardly perceptible, on the edge of consciousness. It can make you want to walk off the route to look at something which caught your attention: look behind an old tree, climb up a hill in search of breathtaking landscapes – and from there your adventure continues, just like mine did. I have always been close to nature, trying to distance myself from overwhelming mass culture.
For 8 years I worked in museum as a numismatist and working on early mediaeval coins taught me about being attentive to details and careful with artefacts in general. Most of my spare time I spent riding a bike, going on long walks, reading books, listening to music and playing it in clubs as a DJ.
Around 2017 I started exploring Pomerania deeper, focusing mostly on geomorphological and hydrological features, but never forgetting about other sides of our environment and human activity in former times. Water is an element I love in every shape: the sea, lakes, rivers, springs, swamps. That’s why I adore kayaking – the best way to become one with the flowing river. Bicycle trips with sleeping in a tent and exploring new roads also gives me a lot pleasure. And last but not least – I can get almost everywhere by feet.
If you’re looking for an unusual guide into Pomerania – look no further. Come with me.
