Private castle tours across the Polish-Czech-German borderlands — and a slightly obsessed personal quest to find all 100. You're invited to both.
Hand-picked routes, small group, enough context to make the stones talk. Designed for people who'd rather skip the bus coach.
Always the foreigner, always between borders — the borderlands are my natural habitat. I moved to Jelenia Góra for the mountains and stayed for the medieval ruins no one tells you about. Seven years later, I'm still here and still counting.
I came as an expat: learned Polish from scratch, navigated the bureaucracy, and figured out how modern Poland actually works. I speak English, Polish and Russian — and yes, I left my magic wand in my other medieval tunic.
I moved to Poland as a foreigner before I ever started showing it to others. Learned Polish from scratch. Navigated the residency system, Karta Polaka, the full bureaucratic maze. Seven years in, I know this country the way only someone who actually lives here can.
If you're planning a trip, tracing Polish roots, or seriously thinking about a move — I'm happy to talk. No extra charge for honest answers.
