Duszak Team

Marek and Paweł Dusza, i.e. the “Duszak Team". They not only have family ties in common, but also their love for the mountains, photography and joint trekking and bicycle expeditions. They have been travelling for many years now and have been gaining more and more experience. They are organising ever more extreme expeditions, which, as they say, allow them to live “better lives”. They always spend their leisure time actively: they go skiing, visit caves, go mountaineering and organise rubber dinghy sailing. They live in    Tychy, in their hometown located in the south part of the Silesian Voivodeship. Marek is a graduate from the Silesian University of Technology, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering.  Paweł is just beginning his university education. They have just come back from another of their expeditions, which ended in success. Of course, they are inviting us to go on a virtual trip around the Black Sea. Thanks to the fact that IT is another one of their hobbies we can be kept up to date with their exploits on www.wyprawy.org. They prepare for the expeditions together, planning everything in detail. Sometimes they have different variants for their routes, but, as it happens in travel, it’s fate that decides anyway. When asked about their next goal, they responded that at the turn of 2007/2008 they would like to make an attempt at riding their bikes, without outside support, through the longest and highest-situated route of the world. On their way they’re planning to climb Mount Aconcagua (6,962 metres above sea level), the highest peak of South America, and Aucanquilche (6,176 metres), the world’s highest bicycle road up. I’m already crossing my fingers for them to succeed in conquering America. (Magda Kubica)
