Why the IntercontiMental Journey?
We set out from Europe, the Old Continent into the North America... and on! On the trail of natural wonders and among the people, their small-big worlds, traditions and mentality, meetings in words and gestures. We know from experience that it is not only the places, but above all the people we meet that give much colour to our travels and shape us. Plunging into the new geographical areas, we touch the mental and cultural areas at the same time, for they are their integral part and provide the most fascinating wealth.
Be with us!
Although the whole initiative was born out of our inner need and the greatest passions, we would like this journey to bring some value into the lives of others. The blog allows us to share what we receive on the road and hopefully to inspire. Over the last three years our website LifeWeLove.com helped us to make valuable connections with people from all over the world, who share our passion. We will do our best to keep sharing here new content, images and practical tips, that may contribute to our meeting on the road one day.
We take Poland with us
We decided that when getting to know new cultures we cannot fail to introduce to our own, Polish culture. We designed our own graphic board "Polish in a nutshell" that may be a good starting point ;) For the little ones we will play the role of messengers. From children of the Polish Primary School in Kowary we take a package of letters addressed to their United States peers compatriots, students in schools with the Polish language who nourish their native traditions. We hope that it will initiate an intercultural dialogue and in the future possibly evolve into long-term friendships.
Being happy to be able to give
What really impresses us and what we want to participate in are ideas that have grown on the basis of passion, planted with genuine enthusiasm and desire to give yourself to a good cause. Such initiatives come when we do what we like, we are happy and we feel the power and the need to share this happiness with others, to give something out of the gratitude for the experienced joy and beauty of the world. Therefore we cultivate such a lifestyle and we give much cheer to people like Ron Grace from the USA, the founder of the organization Lost for a Reason. It was during a motorcycle trip through the Navajo Reserve when his motorcycle got broken. The local guard who stopped to help, told him about the problems which the children and families of Navajo tribe face every day. Ron felt he wanted to do something for them and next time he went to the reserve he brought supplies of water and food. Soon, other travelers and bikers joined Ron and their combined forces started to raise funds to rebuild houses and playgrounds and to supply with food the residents of the reserve. Every year they come together to restore the crumbling shelters using the strength of their own muscles. The slogan behind all of that is: "Helping children and families in the places we love to ride!". We love this message and we would happily get involved into action. Colorado and Arizona are definitely in our plans, so we've applied to become volunteers in Navajo. We hope that we will utilize well our skills and energy in Ron’s team!
Our Equipment Sponsors
We also thank our Parents and Friends, who have supported us in the initiative from the beginning. In fact, it is a very complex process and requires many actions and determination - without your motivation and help it would be much harder! Thanks to Employers, to the Board of Madu SC for the great hearts and a touching attitude in the face of Joki’s accident and struggles.
Thanks to the eminent moto-surgeon Habit from Motorap Service for meticulous tuning of Dakar’s inside. Thanks to Martin Żurek for photo-shoots, expert advice and joint tampering for the motorcycle improvement.

Thanks Bob, it’s been amazing so far, so much happening that we hardly find time (and good WiFi) to upload even 1% of what’ve been experiencing. We really hope to catch up with everything once we stop, we have so much of inspiration to share and the films of course. So please stay tuned :) All the best!
