G’day.
My name’s Oleś. I’m a vagabond, and, I gotta tell ya, it's an amazing life. I spent 9 months circumnavigating Australia, and then over a year zigzagging on my bicycle throughout Southeast Asia and China, and spending the winter in India and Nepal. Now I’m in Central Asia, on the slow cycle road to Europe. But you never know where you’ll end up. That’s the way, u-huh u-huh, I like it, u-huh u-huh.
