About us

Hi, this is Hania and Jacek – a couple, ADV motorcycle riders & travelers. In September 2022, we left our home in Katowice to reach the Indian Himalayas 13 months later.

We rode motorcycles over 30,000 km and thoroughly explored 9 countries. What does thoroughly mean? For example, we spent 2 months in Turkey, 3 months in Iran, and half a year in Pakistan. We reached the farthest villages by off-road to get to know their inhabitants and way of life. We traveled in every season in temperature ranges from -8 in the sun to +45 in the shade. We swam in 19 lakes, 4 seas and visited 8 of the highest drivable passes in the Indian Himalayas.

Our first really big travel project “Baltic – Himalayas” turned out to be a prelude to a much bigger challenge that we set for ourselves – visiting all continents and traveling around the world.

It is a journey with an emphasis on getting to know the World, not on breaking the record of kilometers traveled and ticking off countries. It is a journey for Authenticity.

It is November 2023. We are gathering resources and in January 2024 we are moving on.

Great that you are with us!

Our story

We met … on the road, or rather … on the way to the legendary Krakow Expedition Club. It may sound banal, but we were connected by a passion for motorcycle journeys. Then it turned out that we share many more common passions and so far we have been discovering new ones together.

Almost from the beginning of our romantic friendship, we also had a common dream: to ride the legendary silk trail on wheels. Experience the freedom of a multi-week long journey and a nomadic life with no date to return home.

Meanwhile, however, we chose the challenge – building a business, developing our e-commerce company and building an interior empire. Those were beautiful years – full of extraordinary twists and extremely favorable circumstances. We have built an interior design brand, professionalised trade and warehouse logistics, gave numerous interviews to trade magazines, and even appeared on television as jurors of the Polish Buy it Now format.

Unfortunately, our steady professional life could not be transformed into remote. Therefore, first we were looking for business partners with whom we could share the profit and development When we did not find them in the intended time – we decided to sell the company before our dreams fade and we ourselves became too comfortable in settlement lifestyle.

After several months of intensive aquisition, we sold the company – not for the amount we would have dreamed of, but for enough to invest in 2 apartments from which, passive income flows every month. Several thousands left, we spent on travel comfort hedonistic upraise.

Preparations for the expedition took us several months. We sold two old Teneres XT660Z and bought new bikes: a brand new Tenere 700 and a Honda CRF 300 Rally. We customised them to suit long distance travelling, including off-road driving with heavy luggage. We collected travel documents deliberately deciding which ones are necessary to have now and which will be arranged later.

We’ve gathered the picnic and camping equipment carefully choosing the lightest and most durable items. The map filled with pins of places we would like to see. And on September 11, 2022, we finally left for adventure.

And now we will introduce ourselves to you closer:

Favourite quote?

I found it sprayed on the garbage container in Lodz – polish industrial city: “We’ll all day, but not all of us are alive.”

If I could go back to any point in history I would go …

To North America around 1900. To the times of incredible technical innovations and changes. I would like to participate in them.

I feel the greatest gratitude in my life for …

For life! For people close to me, for love, passion, physicall fitness, for what I experience and what I am skilled to. For travels!

If I could wake up with any new skill tomorrow, I’d like it to be ….

Speaking in all languages. I can’t even imagine how many interesting things I would learn!

“If you really want to do something, you’ll find a way. If you don’t, you’ll find an excuse.”

If I could have dinner with any historical figure I would like to eat it with ...

With Genghis Khan. He was a brave commander and an excellent strategist. He built an empire quickly and efficiently thanks to an innovative approach and absolute rejection of unuseful traditions.

Freedom for me it is …

The belief that in every situation my response is my choice. Freedom is simply taking full responsibility for my own choices, even and especially if it doesn’t seem there is any choice in situation given.

If I could wake up with any new skill tomorrow, I’d like it to be ….

Piloting airplanes. Or commanding a high-seas yacht. Preferably both!
