Hello, my name is Florian. I’ve started this blog-project in 2019 out of sheer curiosity, for the purpose of language learning (Slovak, Polish and English in particular, my native language is German) and for enhancing my writing skills in general.

Despite it might appear as such at a first glance, this website should not be taken for an actual travel blog, yet can be read as a “diary-style” adventure blog of sorts (and here I upload a good deal of my photos in lieu of social media that I use only sporadically). It has a narrow spectrum in the blog sphere though and I’ll try my best to bring the focus on Slovakia, Poland and the High Tatras mountain range (the Alps and other mountain ranges in Europe will certainly get some room here as well).

This blog-project includes topics about Engineering – I am a mechanical engineer by trade – which offer a background-story worth telling or hands-on/practical value. These things will entirely be outsourced to more suitable platforms (such as YouTube) in the future.

For the reason I mentioned above please note that this is a mixed language blog. Entries will for the most part be available in English, technical articles will be available in German only – as you know, you can use a translation engine if you are interested in the subject-matter.

There might be the occasional article in Slovak or Polish in a time yet to come (I studied Polish and Slovak at the universities in Kraków and Bratislava, respectively).

And for this is a non-commercial and part-time project of one single individual, existing content may be edited or deleted without notice.

Note on equipment: Photos are taken either with mobile phone camera or Canon EOS 250D DSLR. Videos are recorded with an Akaso EK7000 Pro camera in most cases.
