Dear Francofou - thank you for this proposition and your good will. Of course, I will be happy if you'll help me to increase my language skills :) And I'm not offended at all!
However, I don't know how to contact with you (there is nothing in your profile ;))) So I hope you'll visit my blog again and see this post then :)
P.S. I will delete your one comment - there are two of them, the same :)

Daily life
I'm trying to convince my good friend - Rene (yes - you ;))) to join me here and write together with me. But he is shy :p
Meeting about the new NGO was quite interesting and efficient. Statut is accepted, board and audit commission elected. And a big surprise for me - I was elected as a board member! The bad news is - it's for 3 years :S But I may always resign - in the case of new job somewhere or lack of free time for it.
Since few days I'm writing applications for a job as a trainer. They are quite many in those days. Wonder if I'll be accepted. Now I'm filling one about YOUTH Program training for SEE-countries. And listening the soundtrack from "Pulp Fiction" :)
Professional work as a trainer is my biggest dream since one year. I'm trying to take any possible steps to be closer and closer to it. But this is quite difficult. Last time in Strasbourg I've spoke with my friend Howard that trainers environment in Europe is like a "magic circle" and it's hard to get inside for new people. It needs time and patience. But I still believe it's possible and fight for my dream.
I'm home since 10 days and already miss travels! I must have some big travellers in the history of my family - it's the only one answer for my "strange" attitude. When I'm home for some weeks, I'm beginning to be not realy nice person :p So, I must travel to have a good mental health - mine and people around me ;)

Travellers' tests
Today I was reading some blogs, jumping from one to another. In this way I've found some really interesting blogs. I will continue reading them in the future.
During this I've found a blog of young Finish journalist. And there I've found 2 interesting websites. First I knew already (from blogs of my two friends - Bettina and Jola) and made my "test". Second was new for me, but really cool. One problem - you must remember all those flights :/
Outcome: nothing extraordinary ;) Summary: I've visited only 12 countries (some of them of course at least few times), what means 5% of the globe. There is a much place for improvement ;) About flights - together more than 18200 km. Plus at least 22000 km in buses or trains. Sounds quite much, but that's nothing.
But with my passion for travelling I'm convinced that it is just beginning!

My youth work
It's just beginning, so probably I'll have quite many posts ;)
I thought today about many things. Too many to write them here. Chosen one is youth work :p Surprisly. When I've started my volunteering it was middle of 2002. Just to see what it is about. And now? I'm in 4 NGOs and some people are asking me about creating one in our village. But I think it's too much for one person. I must make selection. Choose the most important things. Let's see.
Polish Youth Council - I'll stay there. I like it, even if it is very hard work. Through 2 years nothing happened. In last year we made a "revolution", have a new board. It started to change, but very slowly, not so efficiently as it could be. Still there are problems with communication between people in the board. And also identification of member NGOs with PYC is not so high. There is still soooo much work to do. And not many people. And no money at all :( But we're figthing and we will!
AEGEE - I'll also stay inside. I like it also. Good ideas, interesting people. I'm not occupied with my things there, so it's not matter of this NGO at this moment.
Fundation "Partnership for Krajna and Pałuki" - our regional, very new foundation. I think it is really good possibility for our community to develop. At this moment I'm coordinating only one little thing. But it is just beginning, just register in court. I think I'll try to help them.
And two things which I consider now:
Foundation "Szansa XXI" - small local foundation, which is not really efficient. And I don't like very much way of thinking of the board - they are most important, not things which are they doing and people for whom they are doing those things. It's rather kind of business. Let's wait a bit and see.
And last thing is this idea of association in my village. I think it is really good idea to have one here. But two things are not really clear for me. First - why they choosed as a topic peoples' culture, not culture in general, but only local peoples' culture. It's important, but they are saying so much about development of our village and in this situation they will not have many possibilities for that :/ But about this maybe I'll have a more info tomorrow - there will be a meeting. Second thing is my role (if they will have only this topic I don't see myself in it almost at all) and other question is - will I have more time to involve in this?
So many things to do. At this moment it is almost like a normal job. And it is not paid. I may afford on it only because I don't have "normal" job at this moment and my parents help me. But I must start professional work very soon and after that I really don't know how it'll be. It would be perfect to work professionaly in one from those NGOs and be volunteer in rest of them. Just ideal situation :) But not really possible.

New adventure
February as a beginning of something? Why not - winter is ending, something new may born ;) I have already one blog - in my mother tongue (Polish), but I thoguth that it could be interesting to have one in English. Maybe - when I'll improve my skills - next one will be in French. But there is still a long way to French blog :p
What means "podróżniczka"? It is traveller in Polish. Why I chose this name? - that's easy ;) I'm trying to travel as often as it is possible. Even if 99% of my travels is related with youth projects, events and so on, still it's fantastic! Until now I visited only 10 countries, what means 4% of whole globe. Not much :/ But still have some time for improving :p
Something about me? It'll arise after, from next posts. For this moment - I'm youth worker in few NGOs on local, national and international level and I love it :D
