Description
Hi! My name is Kris. I come from Poland. I spent the last few years in Warsaw, where I was working as a designer in geotechnics (a branch of civil engineering). I used to manage a small team, do calculations, drawing and consult technical solutions. Now I am taking a break. This and next year I plan to ride across North and South America on a bicycle. I don’t have a detailed plan yet, and I probably never will – it will be a spontaneous trip. My goal is to see another part of the world, gain new experiences, meet new people, learn new things and broaden my horizons so that my life after the trip will be more interesting and have a positive impact on the people and world around me.
I enjoy outdoor activities such as mountain hiking, cycling, wild camping. I feel good in nature. I also like music, books and some sports.
I will be happy for any opportunity to do interesting things with good people. If I could also gain practical skills related to construction, I would be delighted. However, doing other kinds of work could also bring me joy :)
