Northern Lights live: radar, parameters and alerts
If you are chasing the northern lights, start with the live conditions, then check the weather and dark-sky conditions, and only after that plan your trip into the field.
Quick locations
Why explore the world with OndaTravel.pl?
- Chasing the northern lights: thanks to the original live aurora radar it is easier to go from a dream to a real decision about when to head out.
- Following big-screen stories: I track down filming locations in Iceland and connect them to a real travel plan.
- Budget travel without compromise: I show where to go on holiday abroad cheap and warm and how to see the world on a budget without losing the atmosphere.
Live + planning
First the live conditions, then the decision to go
This is not just a blog about travel. It is a set of practical tools and guides: radar, alerts, country guides, ready-made road trips, filming locations and warm destinations.
Guide, photographer and filmmaker — in one place
I do not just describe the world — I help you experience it. If you want, I can lead an expedition, build a road-trip plan and show you places that are powerful in real life (and in photos).
My name is Krystian, but on the road and online you know me as “dziadzia przewodnik”. My path started with photography and a love of raw landscapes, which quickly turned into a way of life.
From the snow-covered peaks of Norway, through Iceland’s volcanic backroads, to the exotic beaches of Thailand and Vietnam — I travel the world to show you its unique beauty.
Contact and expedition cooperation
The simplest way: open the contact page and write what you need — destination, dates, number of people and travel style. I will reply with a proposal.
What can I do for you on the road and in the field?
- lead an expedition to Iceland or Norway,
- help with a day-by-day road-trip plan,
- create photo / video material from the trip,
- connect the route plan with the search for light, weather and the aurora.
Hi, I’m Krystian “dziadzia guide” from OndaTravel.pl!
The North is my greatest passion, but the world is far too beautiful to stay in only one climate. On my blog I combine the rawness of Iceland and Norway with the exotic energy of Thailand or Vietnam, showing you how to travel authentically, with passion and a camera in your hand.
- Visual storytelling: as a photographer and filmmaker I do not just describe places — I take you there through frames and video.
- North expert: ready-made road-trip plans for Iceland and Norway, smart budget-travel tips and the original the Northern Lights radar.
- Travel through the lens of cinema: from Interstellar and The Odyssey to newer productions and real locations.
- New direction: exotic trips: more and more practical knowledge about Vietnam and Thailand.
P.S. you can also find me here: YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok.
Travel videos — watch before you plan your route
Video is the fastest way: you see the light, the pace, the weather and what it really looks like. Watch the travel videos before you plan your route. I show how places look in practice: light, weather and access.
