Expertise
Curious about Poland? Puzzeld by recent developments in this European state or consider going there for exploration? I believe I can help. Althoug I particularly welcome questions regarding tourism and sports activities I will also try and help bussines travelers or those who have odd, yet reasonable questions.
Experience
I have been watching Poland very closely my whole life. Numbers of years from a distance of the Atlantic Ocean, as it a case at a present time. Sometimes it is a country, which is difficult to love, but which country is not? I had lived in Poland for 30 years. I have climbed, hiked, sailed, and skied there on numerous occasions. I used to be a member of Polish Associations of Climbing, Tourism, Yachting and Ski Instructors. I have also practiced physiotherapy in Poland.
