Traveler, with a particular passion for mountain trekking. She has more than 13 years of travel and trekking experience, and shares her expert knowledge on the Nessi World blog, among others.

Since she made her first trip to the United States in 2009, she has been continuously marking new points on the world map. To date, she has visited 48 countries and such islands as Okinawa and Borneo, among others. She has conquered the Teide volcano in Tenerife, hiked spectacular and scenic trails in Taiwan, been to the highest peak in Bosnia - Maglić, hiked in the Damned Mountains in Albania and Durmitor National Park in Montenegro.

She climbed Triglav and Prisjonik in Slovenia on the most technically demanding trails.

As for the Polish mountains, they are no secrets for her, and in 2021/2022 she conquered the Crown of Beskid Wyspowy. She has walked the length and breadth of the Tatry Mountains.

She rarely goes to the same place. She believes that there are so many beautiful places in the world that she may not have enough life to see them all.

She spends every free moment in the mountains, overcoming not only kilometers of trails, but also the limits of her abilities.

To date, she has set foot on virtually all of the Tatry trails, both on the Polish and Slovak sides. Regardless of the season, her activities in the Tatry Mountains are based on the "light and fast" style, i.e. the lightest possible clothing and the minimum amount of equipment necessary - which translates into the ability to cover a lot of mountain kilometers quickly. An important issue for her is safety in the mountains. She is constantly expanding her knowledge, participating in training courses on high altitude tourism, winter tourism, climbing or avalanche training.

She also left a piece of her heart in the Dolomites, where she has spent longer vacations for many years - there she focuses on running and trekking on via ferrata. She is also no stranger to the Italian mountains - she knows very well what and where in that region. During the summer season on weekends, she often gets in the car and drives to the Austrian Alps, scoring more huts, glaciers and considerable heights. Her words make you want to hit the trail:

"Long mountain distances are a character training for me, they allow̨ me to focus̨ on my goal, teach̨ me to cope with anxiety, pain and weaknesses in my body. My moments in the highlands are pure and undeniable happiness blended into the mountain landscape, consisting̨ of a strange mixture of pain, effort, loneliness, euphoria, delight and strength. After all, life is all about beinǵ happy, even if the road to happiness is very long, leads uphill, over boulders and sometimes requires many sacrifices."

The winner of the 2022 OCR Polish Championships in her age category, which earned her direct qualification for the 2023 OCR European Championships. She also has numerous achievements in the iconic Runmageddon series, including winning the Runmageddon Classic Warsaw.

She began her sports journey by diving into multiple disciplines simultaneously. She started with karate but also explored trampoline jumping, swimming, and dance. Currently a student at the University of Physical Education in Wrocław, she trains for several hours every day. She combines obstacle course racing with acrobatics and has represented Poland in the circus festival in Budapest.

Disciplined and a perfectionist with a fighting spirit, she embodies the motto "Train, eat, sleep, repeat" like no other. Her greatest success? "It doesn't matter how many goals I manage to achieve or how many medals I win. My biggest success is that I have the opportunity to do what I love in life, to surround myself with wonderful people, to like myself, and to love life. Every day, I wake up grateful and can enjoy my everyday life," explains Julia.
