Since I remember I was always dreaming about flying. The Polish army has a training area near the place where I spent my summer holidays - at my grandparent's summer house. There was a small airport as well, where gliders took off and flew above our heads the whole time. So I can say I grown up with flying on my mind. I first heard about paragliding in 1999 when I was 16 and the following year I became a beginner. The course was conducted by towing in the flat lands near Warsaw (Poland) where I live. Since then I began to realize my dream. Six months after my first course my mother bought me my first glider and I attended a thermal course in Bassano del Grappa. Since then I spend most of my summer holidays at the airport near my grandmother’s house and flying cross country in the flatlands. My friends pushed me to compete in the same year and I enjoyed it so much that I decided to continue and went with them to Italy in September for Polish Cup Monte Grappa. In this competition I realised how fast I could learn to fly and how much different it is flying cross country in the mountains. Because most competitions take place in the mountains I decided to fly as much as possible in the Alps. I came back to competitions in the 2003 making my first podium finish in the Loop Cup. I then became even more addicted with competition and since then I’ve been flying more and more.
In the 2005 I had the chance to fly my first Gin glider and was selected for the World Cup. This experience pushed my flying competency higher and I hope to learn more and more. In the same year I was selected for the Polish National Team and since then I've been part of the team.
Thanks to my sponsors, with their support and friendship I can continue to live my dream and push my performance further. Thank you so much.
Besides flying I study in Warsaw and during winter holidays I work as a Ski and Snowboard Instructor in the Alps.
