Does electronic monopolized us?
Have you got any other hobby, but sitting in front of computer or listening to music?
When you don't have to work or learn, what do you do? How do you spend your free time?
I have found out something special.
With a group of friends for few years we are tripping around Poland. It doesn't matter if we are traveling by bus, train, ridding bikes or walking. The place of our accomodation is also not important. It could be motel, hostel, tent or even train station.
The most significant thing is that we are together, spending great time and having fun. Every expedition brings new sensations. Besides sightseeing well-known and popular places we are also finding some forgotten or undiscovered wonders.
We always learn something about ourselves, improve and cross our capabilities.
I think there is nothing better than this. Memories caught on the photo will be with us our whole life, unforgotable time spent with people who means a lot for us. Every thought about this excursions thrills me.
I am curious if you have got something so special, some hobby that makes you feel like?
I am waiting for your suggestions...

According to the Encyclopedia of Contemporary Youth Culture « Emo, short for “emotional music”, is an evolving and complex youth subculture that listens to a specific genre of music, which is characterized by feelings of vulnerability and a willingness to express heart-felt confessions about adolescence ».
This music is supposed to draw from various genres of contemporary music including rock, rap, punk, indie, pop, and heavy metal by artists such as Finch, Taking Back Sunday, Atmosphere, Slug, Coheed and Cambria, Snow Patrol, and Dash Board Confessional. It has his origins in the mid-1980s hardcore punk movement of Washington, D.C., where it was known as "emotional hardcore" or "emocore" and pioneered by bands such as Rites of Spring and Embrace. The mouvement changed and developped during the years to the actual forme.
