“Are you French?” “Excuse me, what language do you speak?” “Where do you come from?” “Is this French?” I have no idea why Americans think we are French? I would be probably a bad person to say that the only thing the Americans associate with Europe is France but on the other hand the Internet […]
After a month in National Parks you start to wonder whether there can be still something new or surprising. And then it turns out each park is different and each one is unique. Yosemite is on Unesco World Heritage list and every year receives around 4 million visitors. You can feel this – yes, there […]
We are very lucky when it comes to National Parks. The holiday season has arrived and all around the Internet every single piece of advice says “book your campsites early, even 3, 4 or 6 months in advance. Following this advice was simply not possible for us, keeping in mind our travelling style. Yet, so […]
So it happened Las Vegas will be on our route. I would never go there freewillingly but tired of heat, dust and dirt and having in perspective a very long drive back to California, we decided to make a stop in this city of the devil and recover. „The luck of the blind” should be […]
It is not possible to see everything without turning this trip into a marathon of ticking boxes on a checklist of places. So we had to revisit our plans, drop Bryce Canyon and go straight to Zion. First impression – awesome. All green, real trees! There are campsites in the national parks which can be […]

In Arizona we stayed on a campsite in State Park Homolovi, an empty place in the middle of nowhere and a meteor crater over 1 kilometer in diameter. The ruins of Hopi indians’ settlements left us wanting to learn more. They […]
We were not sure if our plan to go camping while in the US will work, so we kept our plans only high level – a loop over the national parks of Arizona, Utah, Nevada and back again to California. Then north along the coast through San Francisco, Seattle and Vancouver. With an option to […]
I do not know why but in my mind Joshua Tree was full of green even though I have never been there. The only other association was with U2 hit album so perhaps this is the source – Irish band from green Ireland and Joshua Tree. Green. Huh… It is brutal. It is not as […]
A very long flight with a stopover in Honolulu is behind us. US was never on my bucket list. Even more… I was saying I will never go there as long as there will be visa requirement for us. Nevertheless, when a time came, I submitted my visa application and got a nice sticker in […]
I remember sitting in one of the travel-themed pubs in Warsaw and listening to a story about volcanoes in Indonesia. Never ever would I though then that the volcanoes will be haunting us in this trip. Just before leaving Poland, Mt Agung on Bali woke up and scared tourists to the point of many airlines […]
