About me

I'm Michal - tramper, photographer, slow life lover. I write only about the places that I've been to and the gear that I tried for an extensive period of time. That's why I don't write about gear almost at all.

In winter, you kind of have to grab the opportunit In winter, you kind of have to grab the opportunity to go out when the weather's good.
