Hi, my name is Monika Czerniejewska and I run the Moto Hero blog. I am a motorbike traveller, having travelled the world on two wheels for 13 years. The passion for travel and motorbikes was instilled in me by my parents. I have already visited 36 countries, including journeys through Russia and Kazakhstan (Pamir Highway) and Iran and Pakistan (Karakorum Highway). I have descended Europe several times, and my biggest dream is a trip around the world - preferably one from which I won't return for several years. I love to get off the tarmac, exploring new untrodden paths, and camping in the beautiful outdoors. To combine my work with my passion, I created the brand www.advinside.com for motorbike travellers. Every purchase supports my next expeditions! At the fair, Bork and I will talk about our recent trip to Iran and Pakistan and our preparations for South America.

Hey, it's travellers4, that's Zuza, Jula, Ania and Andrzej! We have explored 41 countries so far, all while sleeping in a tent, then a caravan and more recently a campervan! Like many other travellers, we show you what, where and how to see things, but what makes us different is our writing perspective, because the main role on the blog is played by two teenagers - Zuza (17 years old) and Jula (19 years old). Together, we want to show you that you don't need much to visit, explore and discover. Often it is enough to simply leave home. We started our travel adventure back in 2009, when we bought a small tent and set off to conquer the countryside. Over the years the journeys got further and further, more and more extreme, until in 2020 we moved to a caravan and joined a caravanning company. But as they say - the appetite grows with the food, also at the beginning of 2024 we already shifted to a campervan. Are you curious about what characterises each form of travel? Or do you want to broaden your horizons and try something new? Join us for a lecture :) Travel 41 countries with us - whether by tent, caravan or campervan!

I have been sailing for almost 60 years. I combine adventure on the water with adventure on land, so I alternate between caravanning and sailing. I fell in love with inland river and lake sailing because of the ever-changing conditions and surroundings. My love of nature has influenced my view of my surroundings and seeking a retreat away from the hustle and bustle. Living on the water provides me with mental comfort and direct contact with nature.

Howdy! My name is Wojciech Borkowski or simply Borek. I am a motorbike traveller. I have been spending time in the saddle since 2012. So far I have travelled through 31 countries, covering over 200,000km in the process. For the past 5 years I have been reporting on my travels on the internet by running a blog on Facebook and an account on Instagram. When travelling, I love to get to know people, their lives, foreign culture, landscapes and foreign cuisine above all. For a long time I have been exploring the countries I get to know through the wilderness, and sleeping in the wild, swimming in rivers, cooking over a fire and never-ending wandering is what I love most about travelling by motorbike! One of my most memorable stories is a trip to Iran and Pakistan, which Monia Moto Hero and I will talk about during our lecture. Motorbikes are my whole life!

Hi, they used to call me Adam. Today they call me Wyprawomaniak I sold my house some time ago and moved into a campervan. The same view from the window every day is not for me. I like to be free and independent, visit fascinating places, stop where I feel like it and feel alive. What do I do? I visit and describe interesting tourist attractions for you. I compile them into ready-to-use itineraries and make them available for free on wyprawomaniak.pl. There, you will find only selected locations worth recommending. One tour is one day of sightseeing. Anyone who is interested in exploring interesting places can use my work to their heart's content. I also show you that travel is for everyone and can be done cheaply. All you need is the will and a good mood. I always say that all you need is a bike and a day off to go on an exciting trip. And how do you go about it? I talk about this and many other interesting facts at meetings and my lectures. Come, listen and take advantage! See you there!

If I could, I wouldn't stop.... By campervan, by bike, on my feet and with a backpack.... the form doesn't matter to me. What counts is adventure! My brain is constantly hungry for experiences, knowledge of places, events, people and cultures. It has even made me leave the stable world I know, sell my flat and, jumping headfirst into the middle of an ocean of possibilities, sail.... somewhere... All in all, by swimming you can also explore. I invite you to meet me and my crazy world of adventures and ideas.

I am Sicilian, but I have lived everywhere in Italy ... not only, but also in Greece, Singapore, Belgium, Spain and I decided to live in Warsaw. I speak 6 languages and that helps a lot when travelling. I describe myself as a Motovisionist. In the past I have tried adrenaline in track racing (3 Polish championship titles) and rallying. If I can send you emotions, that is more important to me than fame and riches. I have visited 100 different countries, but the best trip is always the next one. I love my Transalp 700.

Globtroterek, or Ola, Tomek and Michal Dudek, are experts on European campsites, of which they have tested over 400! They run a portal about campsites, review, test, photograph and film the biggest and most popular campsites in Croatia, Italy, France, Spain, Slovenia and Hungary. They love travelling and are fans of family city visits. They spend several months a year on the road and say NO to boring sightseeing! They visit each place according to their own original way. In Barcelona, they helped a salamander retrieve its colours, in Dubrovnik they searched for treasures, in Venice for elements of a Venetian mask and in Arles they tracked down sunflower thieves. Based on their idea, the ‘Essentials of an Adventure Seeker’ was created. - guides for children in the form of city games.

Why did we do it? Our aim is to remind the world of the achievements of Poles in the history of world Himalayanism and of the organisational background of the Golden Era of Polish Himalayanism. Through the Jelcz expedition from Poland to Nepal, we take care of the memory of the participants of the expeditions, with particular emphasis on the role of the drivers of these expedition trucks. This responsible function they performed was to deliver the necessary equipment and, in many cases, also to take the leading Himalayan climbers to the High Mountains. In doing so, we reminded the international arena how important this historic truck played for Polish Himalayanism, honouring all the expedition participants who struggled with the hardships of these difficult journeys. Today it can be seen in front of the main entrance to the International Mountain Museum in Pokhara.
