For many years we haven’t moved practically anything from Poland. We handed over the household appliances because they did not fit the English plugs. The books were also given away because initially, we only rented a room, and every free corner was worth its weight in gold.

We start marching towards our goals, and after some time we can’t catch the breath because we are already running. When we run, it is not easy to stop.
