With no road-riding experience and just after recovering from an injury, we set off on a motorcycle expedition to one of the countries with the highest motorcycle fatality rates. I invite you to northern Thailand, right by the borders with Myanmar and Laos.

I don’t know what it is about some cars that makes them work on you even before you see them in real life. Ford Bronco was exactly that kind of car for me. A bit of infatuation, a bit of an icon, a bit of an unfulfilled fantasy about a beautiful, brave, but also big expedition vehicle. I sighed over Bronco photos like a teenager over posters of her favorite boyband. And that teenager and I have a lot in common in this context. Because we both loved our chosen one with a kind of love others couldn’t understand — having never seen him in real life.
So when Ford Poland invited me to a two-day off-road test in Spanish Aragon, I knew this would be more than a first date with Bronco. This meeting was meant to finally get rid of my doubts once and for all. Sink or swim!

How did a trip planned through 4 countries end up becoming 7?
Our only goal was to reach Lake Balaton in Hungary — and then simply follow wherever our hearts took us. In the end, it turned into a truly beautiful journey with no plan, no highways or express roads, and most importantly: no pressure. I invite you to a short introduction to the context of this motorcycle expedition — and to the film that says it all.
And some of us (including me) actually avoid it quite often. Especially in those fluorescent shades that scream from a few kilometers away. Over the years I’ve been collecting a list of women’s motorcycle clothing brands that understand this — and design gear for those of us who want something more than pink, lime or blue to express our individual style and stand out from the guys on two wheels.
So I’m taking you on a ride through motorcycle brands that create clothing with women in mind. Ready? Twist the throttle!

Packing for a motorcycle trip is a bit like playing Tetris and a strategy game at the same time — and in the end, common sense still scores the most points. Over the years I’ve made many mistakes, replaced gear countless times, including luggage. Today I’m finally confident in my setup and packing system, so I decided to share my knowledge with you — so you don’t have to pay for the same mistakes or interrupt your trip when you realize you forgot something important.

I wrote about wild etiquette — the travel code of conduct — inspired by several stories shared with me by landowners and property owners whose places have become popular with people traveling “off-grid.”
The topic became so relevant that Polish Radio Czwórka decided to dedicate an episode of Sobotologia to it. You can listen to my conversation with journalist Szymon Jaworski in this article.
An evacuation backpack. A bug-out bag. A survival kit.
There is a lot of talk these days about how to pack in case you suddenly have to leave. But I can’t imagine escaping on foot when I have a car full of survival gear ready to go. What is an evacuation box?
What should you pack to survive without electricity or running water, far from civilization?
What should you keep in your car so you don’t have to think about it when time matters?
Plus a bonus: a recording of my live appearance on TVP2’s “Pytanie na Śniadanie.”
