O poloneza care impreuna cu prietenul ei a cutreierat lumea in decurs de 6 ani, doar cu 600 $ si hitchhiking... o personalitate neobisnuita a decedat in Kenia in luna aceasta din cauza malariei. Avea doar 33 de ani. Pe Website gasesti poze si reports despre calatorii, Africa, etc. A fost o femeie deosebita, sa-i fie tarina usoara...

"In 2003, I got to know a beautiful Polish lady, Kinga, and her partner, Chopin. Both were adventurous travellers who have seen much of the world, not in the semi-luxuious style I am used to, but roughing it out in the wilderness and remote localities in countries that most people cannot spell. They travelled around for years, bringing freshness and inspiration to the many people they met in their journeys.
In Singapore, they camped in Marina area - the only people I ever knew have done that, and they told me of how a hospitable Singapore family drove them down the east coast of Malaysia. We met outside Kuan Yin Temple and had a quick snack and exchanged travellers' tales. I felt humbled by their travel experiences and wondered if I could ever abandon my corporate robes once again to embark on such a journey.
Over the years, I have followed their travels through their website
http://www.kingafreespirit.pl/kingaen/index.php
and emails. They returned to Poland and published a book about their travels. Last year, they set off again, this time for Africa. Unfortunately, a month ago, Kinga was down with malaria in Ghana, and I have just received news that she passed on a week ago.
I have attached extracts from another website about her passing in my little tribute to this great traveller. May Kinga's freespirit live on!
