Welcome to Poland and Central Europe ! My name is Christopher (Krzysztof in Polish) and I am 42 years old. I am PhD with historical, geographical and philosophical background, and for last 18 years I have been private guide all around Krakow region, Poland and Central Europe. I am speaker, lecturer and author of books, for example of easy-to-read joyful essays about Poland and Polishness "100 Moments Poland. A Virtual Travel Guide". I recommend you by heart to take a look at it and I will be honored. I operate in Poland, but also as a manager and director of tours operating all from A to Z, in here and other regions across Europe, Asia, Africa and America. As Doctor of Philosophy in Tourism Sciences and Philosophy occasionally I give public speeches and lectures teaching on history, geography, guiding, and values that we meet and experience within. I have guided and met many VIPs, politicians, diplomats, professors, Hollywood stars, CEOs of global companies, artists . . and I will be happy to meet you as well - because all of us, without exception - are VIPs, worth getting to know each other and the world, and introduce dialogue, through travel and tourism, into it. This world has always been my passion, it's history and geography, society and philosophy, with travel phenomenon in its core. Shortly speaking. :) Welcome to city of Krakow and its unusual region with plenty of very important and interesting places situated nearby.
