About the author
Guide, photographer and filmmaker — all in one place
Hi, I’m Krystian, known online as “dziadzia przewodnik” on OndaTravel.pl. I write about places I have genuinely visited, checked and photographed in the field — from Iceland and Norway to other destinations worth seeing with your own eyes. Instead of internet clichés, you get practical tips, first-hand experience, concrete routes, photos, videos and advice that help you plan a trip better.
This is a blog created from a practitioner’s perspective: no fluff, no internet nonsense, and content based on my own field experience.
