My Story
From Poland to the world – here’s how I became a travel expert
I was raised in a coastal town in northern Poland before moving to London. After 10+ years in the UK and becoming a British citizen, a short vacation in Thailand completely changed my trajectory.
That trip sparked something. I packed my bags with my sister for a 3-month tour around Southeast Asia – Burma, Laos, Vietnam, and of course, Thailand. When I returned, life took an unexpected turn, and suddenly I was free to chase this new dream.
I moved to Chiang Mai to teach English. Those years in Northern Thailand taught me more than any guidebook ever could. I started teaching online, launched OK English, and became location-independent.
After stints in Vietnam, Poland, and Germany, I found my home in Lisbon, Portugal – where I’ve been for 7 years now. I split my time between Portugal and Thailand, always exploring, always learning, always sharing what I discover with you.
I call myself a digital expat now. Not constantly traveling, but living intentionally in places I love. Thailand taught me to slow down. Portugal taught me to appreciate quality of life. And this blog? It’s where I share everything I’ve learned along the way.
