Hi, I’m Paulina: engineer by trade, explorer by obsession.
I’ve always loved creating things and making them better. At work, that started with building cars and today means bringing robots into warehouses. Everywhere else, it means chasing the next adventure, and then sharing it here so you can plan your own.
From Poland to the U.S. to Seoul
Poland is my motherland, and it’s where my love of exploring began. The U.S. is where I put down roots, and then kept pulling them up again: college at RIT in Upstate New York , where I met Steve, followed by chapters in Detroit, Boston and St. Petersburg, Florida. Each move taught me how to make a new city feel like home, from snowy Midwest winters to Gulf Coast sunsets. In June 2024 we took the biggest leap yet and moved to Seoul. Now my weekends look a little different, and Asia is right on my doorstep.
60 countries and counting
I haven’t been everywhere, but it’s on my list. So far I’ve explored 60 countries, from hiking beneath the Matterhorn and through the mountains of Andorra to eating my way through Singapore ’s hawker centers. Living in Seoul puts a whole new corner of the world on my doorstep, so expect more stories from Korea, Japan and beyond.
