Kinga

First published May 13, 2005

After visiting Gdansk we went to Kinga's mother, Krystyna.

Krystyna is a wonderful person, and it is easy to see where Kinga gets here love for travelling from.

For those who don't know it yet : Kinga is a young Polish woman who has been hitch-hiking for 5 years everywhere in the whole wide world. She did this with her friend, Chopin, and wrote a book about it called Led By Destiny, which is also the name of her website : www.ledbydestiny.com

And now she travels all over Europe in her red 'led-by-destiny' car, trying to get her books sold so she can leave on another adventure, this time to Africa.

Her mother, Krystyna, is something of a celebrity herself, since she is a driving force behind the "Odyssey of the Mind", a creative competion for young children. If you want to find out more : www.odysseyofthemind.com

Kinga's father let us taste some good Polish beer from Gdansk (Kaper) and after that we drove to Kinga's place where her flatmate had some vegan food for us (Lentils and spinach salad).

We had a great time at Kinga's place and she showed us her pictures of her latest trip to Rumania.
