Description

Hello 😊
on 29.10.2023 we started one year traveling project through middle and north america🌎 :)

We are teachers from Krakow. We love 💕 hiking in the mountains 🗻, the road is our goal, and traveling is much more valued than sightseeing. This year we hitchhiked through Lithuania , Latvia and Estonia for 30 days.
Traveling, helping and give back what we get is very rewarding for us:)
That's why we want to be volunteers and support local people, NGOs. We believe in civic society :)

Moreover during our trip we talk with people about their dreams. This is continuation of my project the Road to Dreams (you can find it on Facebook) , when I hitchhiked around Europe and met with people to talk about such an important things like our dreams. So if you want to share your dreams you are more than welcome :)
