I was afraid of New York City for many reasons. I was expecting a big, overwhelming city. I knew it will be superexpensive and we are budget travellers. I feared the sadness of the last stop on our journey before heading back home. Finally I have my personal reasons which I do not want to […]
We returned our second car in the beautiful town of Whitefish and loaded like camels (with all the camping gear we bought in the US on top of our backpacks) left for the train station. We decided that crossing the US on board of “Empire Builder” – an Amtrak train running along the Canadian border […]
It seems Glacier will be our last National Park in this trip. We have plans now for its last leg – last because we already know when we will be returning to Poland. I will not say that the trip will be over because it is the beginning of something new, yet still we do […]
North of Tetons there is Yellowstone – the oldest national park in the US. The campgrounds are very popular and therefore usually full. There are few though that can be booked in advance and as we learned there are many cancellations. Thanks to Teton grocery store’s wifi and Wojtek’s patience we managed to book a […]
We got the tickets to Mexico and so upon returning to the US, we only had little time to see National Parks we planned to visit. In our new rental car we travelled across the states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Wyoming. Along the way we stopped in Roslyn which played the town of Cicely […]

We returned our rental car in Seattle and checked in at the hostel – the only one available and cheap enough not to ruin our budget. The place was cool, located in downtown with various activities for guests every day: Monday hot cocoa and cookies at 8 p.m., Wednesday excursion with a guide, Saturday beer. […]
Olympic National Park is located at the north-western edge of United States. It is so big and diverse that they decided to divide it into three separate areas. We decided to split our stay between two campsites because the distances are too big to drive all around the penisula all the time. Kalaloch is located […]
We drove north, almost to the tip of California, to Redwood National Park. Redwood is a name of a tree cousin of sequoias. Not as wide but taller. Redwood park is also home of Hyperion – the tallest living sequoia on Earth. Did you know that they can live 2000 years?! The forest is amazing. […]
We left beautiful Yosemite behind and headed towards the coast. First to Monterey because I read somewhere that you can spot whales all year round in the bay. The summer heat is gone, Monterey is cold. Dressed in many layers of warm clothes we embark on a boat and go. Sea lions chill on the […]
