Guide

Originally from Poland, I lived in Ireland for 16 years, exploring hiking trails and enjoying Irish nature whenever I got a chance. From the solitary flower to the vast stretching mountain range, snapping pictures and creating memories to cherish over and over.

In 2017 I fell in love with cycling. When by the end of 2018 I discovered one doesn’t have to be cold and wet in the winter to ride outside, it was only a matter of time to wake up my inner migratory bird and start spending winter months in Gran Canaria (oh, and falling in love with an adopted Irish-Canario may have something to do with it too 😁).  Now I spend less and less time in Ireland, and together with my life companion Constantin, I highly enjoy exploring all the wonderfulness Europe has on offer during the summer months – whether guiding groups of cyclists, bike packing (in ultra-light fashion), or sharing rides and hikes with friends and family.

When I’m not dancing on the pedals, smiling and laughing my way across the landscapes and cooking healthy meals, chances are I’m supporting others in their journey to feel their best, not only on the bike but in everyday life. Apart from being a cycling guide, I am also a registered BrainWorking Recursive Therapy practitioner, helping others overcome whatever obstacles their lives put on them.
