Description

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by things you didn't do than by those you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

This is one of my favourite quotes and my lifelong Motto. I am a naturalist, social enterpreneur and traveller. I have 20 years of experience travelling and offering my services to National Parks and NGOs worldwide, working as a seasonal ranger or field researcher. I've spent over two months on Sahara looking after a fieldbase for camel expeditions . I've also spent six months alone in Polish Borderland Wilderness encircling my country on foot and sleeping in the forest. I am the Founder and CEO of Wild Areas Network - organisation that enables passionate naturalists from all over the world to volunteer in the wildest places of Poland.

When I don't work, I travel to different places to gain even more international volunteering experience. My life is my passion - my work overlaps with my leisure.
