Mardi Gras is just around the corner, so let me write about New Orleans, which I had a pleasure of visiting a few years ago. The city itself is very interesting, but the visit during the carnival added flavour, some Creole flavour 😉

Gripsholm castle
As you probably already know, my wife grew up in a small town called Mariefred. Considering how small is this town, there are many “Polish traces” there. I wrote here about Polish submarines, interned in Sweden during the war, but now we’ll go back in time some 450 years.

About me
I look for Polish traces around the world and present them to readers. I also write about my travels in and outside Europe.
