WELCOME TO JETTING AROUND
I'm Pola
I tell stories of cities and expat life
My earliest memory is of sitting on a plane, window seat by the wing, waiting for takeoff. I was about three years old, flying from Europe to Asia with family. That first travel experience – for which I am so grateful to my parents – sparked a lifelong interest in other cultures and languages. Over the years, it also led me from Krakow to Chicago to Paris, the three cities I have called home.
Jetting Around was born in 2010 out of my passion for writing and urban travel. I cover various city topics (food, wine, fashion, culture, sports) and expat life, with some extreme adventure thrown in.
I also host travel events on and offline. They include the weekly #JAchat on Twitter and networking meetups JA Café: Travel Talk Over Wine in Paris.
Besides blogging, I am a freelance writer and communications manager at a startup.
I’m glad you’re here. Enjoy the site!
