Hiking Alone in the Tatra Mountains: Why I Had to Cut It Short
In April 2023, I went on a five-day solo hike through the Tatra Mountains—my favorite in Poland. It was late winter. Cold. Slushy snow. I thought I was prepared but this trip was more than just an adventure.
Somewhere along the way, I had to ask myself: is this still bravery, or am I being reckless? It wasn’t the weather or the pain that made me cut the journey short—it was something deeper.
This video is a piece of my heart. A story about nature, solitude, intuition, and knowing when to keep going and when to turn back.
