From Poland to Poland project.

WHY KIRITIMATI ?

This video shows this better than thousand words.

About the project genesis and our motivation

Captain Benjamin L. Willard (a character in Scorsese's "Apocalypse Now") says in the first words of the movie: ..."Saigon... shit; I'm still only in Saigon... Every time I think I'm gonna wake up back in the jungle." I can say almost the same phrase, but in place "Saigon" say "Poland". What is interesting, the word "Saigon" in polish is the synonym of the biggest mess. A few years ago we have concluded, that any of ours efforts for change the reality that surrounds us is for nothing. So, if we can't change the surroundings and fit it to us, we must change myself and fit to the surroundings. But why here, in Poland ? We made the analisys of the pros and cons of living in Poland and have decided to leave this place forever. Why ? The reasons are very simply. The cost of living in Poland dramatically rising up and the quality of living is going down. The prices are similar like in other european countries, but incomes are 5 times lower than in Germany or the Netherlands. Is time to go out from here, but where ? In other countries of the Europe will be similar like here. In the USA - also.

"If you don't know where you want to live - you can live everywhere and nowhere".

We decided to throw out the sedentary living and change it to nomadic. Of course in the range of our financial capabilities. Because the sea is over 70% of the surface of the Earth, the best idea is living on the sea. We will buy the small sailboat (two reasons for it to be small: 1) small is relative cheap, 2) small is easier for maintain for two people - older and not so agile. In polish language are not the right phrases for describe this activity, but in english is CRUISING. Funny, but in polish "cruising" means the night rides by car from bars to clubs. We made the brainstorm and concluded that the best part of the planet for cruising and living are the islands on Pacific. Nice, quiet, simple and friendly. Islands where the smile and friendship (not money) determine the social status. We got inspiration from the other people who spent their life on cruising as e.g. Chuck and Laura Rose who are on the sea since 16 years or famous polish traveller (and our good friend) Mietek Hajer Bieniek who gave us courage and showed us that travelling without money is possible. We have also the enough knowledge and abilities for safe sailing on open sea.

So, let's do it ! Why not ?
