________________CV________________

Polish citizen with Italian fire in his veins. Graduated in Tourism & Recreation Management, then proceeded to collect job experiences like others collect stamps. Career Highlights (or Lowlights โ€“ Judge for Yourself):
โ€ข Washed dishes in London (yes, the classic Polish starter pack)
โ€ข Tour guide showing people the wonders of... well, everything
โ€ข Tax office warrior (survived the bureaucracy trenches)
โ€ข Media mercenary โ€“ from serious journalism to paparazzi chaos
โ€ข Culture center boss making art happen
โ€ข CEO of a state insurance company (briefly sane)
โ€ข Currently running a small business (his own circus now)
No job was ever "beneath" him โ€“ except maybe influencer. "That's a hard no," he says while ironically attempting to become one anyway. , ? Passions:
โ€ข Nature's raw beauty (preferably without tourists in the frame)
โ€ข Photography (especially when subjects don't pose)
โ€ข Music that moves the soul (or at least the feet)
โ€ข All forms of beauty (except corporate PowerPoints)
โ€ข Holy peace and quiet (increasingly rare commodity)
Special Skills:
โ€ข Surviving career reinventions
โ€ข Spotting authenticity from a mile away
โ€ข Making complicated things simple (and vice versa when needed)
โ€ข Still believes the best adventures are ahead
Currently Available For:
โ€ข Projects that matter
โ€ข Interesting collaborations
โ€ข Good conversations over better coffee
โ€ข Definitely NOT another corporate puppet show
(Okay fine, maybe influencer gigs if the price is right and dignity can be temporarily suspended)
"I've worked from the basement to the boardroom โ€“ and learned something everywhere. Now I'm just here trying to monetize my personality like everyone else. Let's build something real (or at least Instagrammable)."
*(P.S. This CV now comes with 37% more self-awareness and 100% more existential career crisis.)*

It doesn't matter to him that I sometimes shout, or that he misses me every day when I'm gone. For seven years, he has been my best friend and protectorโ€”a soul who understands exactly what life is like and asks for nothing more. Rocky... his registered name from the breeder was Mickey, but it didn't suit him at all. :)

A new chapter.
This time, in Poland ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ
For so long, my journey has taken me into her world.
Now, itโ€™s her turn to discover mine.
After months of paperwork, thousands of kilometres and countless hours of waiting, Ivondia is finally here.
A whole new trail ahead of us.

Welcome to Poland, Ivo!

A serious cultural question for Ovaherero and Ovahimba in Namibia โ€” I need your help with this one. ๐Ÿ˜‡

When a Himba/Herero woman has made up her mindโ€ฆ is there any official appeal procedure, or should the husband simply accept the ruling?

Asking for a Polish friend who is currently trying meditation because he canโ€™t see any other way out. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ

๐Ÿ‘ A. Accept the ruling. There is no appeal.
๐Ÿ˜ญ B. Shut up and accept it.
๐Ÿคฃ C. Keep talking. This is getting fun.

Today marks four months since our wedding.

It has been almost four months since the last time I was able to touch my wifeโ€™s hand.
No one ever said that paperwork and an international marriage would be easy. But it has been harder than I ever imagined โ€” not because of us, but because of officials, bureaucracy and some truly strange laws.

Tomorrow is another very important day for us, so please keep your fingers crossed. ๐Ÿคž

And to you, my love โ€” thank you.
For everything.
Stay strong and brave, as a Himba woman should. โค๏ธ
