March 22 this year was the ninth anniversary of The Wandering Spot. We have regularly published reports from our trips; many photos, maps, trail routes, recommendations etc. for family and friends, and many anonymous visitors to enjoy and find inspirations for trip planning.
Time to explain where the title of our website came from. It goes back to mid 1970-ties when I (Piotr) was learning how to read the genetic code. “Wandering spot” was one of the early sequencing techniques (I actually did not use it, as more efficient methods prevailed). Visually following a zig-zagging (wandering) spot and reading one letter at a time. 50 years later it is of course one genome at a time. I thought travel is a similar concept. Moving from spot to spot learning about new places, mountains, nature, culture etc. It starts with a short walk and then come long treks and road trips, hundreds and thousands of miles, different countries and continents. So we keep on wandering and reporting here what we see.
