4,659 miles.

4,659 miles...it's the distance between Milwaukee, Wisconsin and Tomczyn (Warka), Poland.

I was born and raised in Poland. My family lived in Warsaw but we spend all of our summers near Tomczyn (Warka). Located near the Pilica River, is a summer house complex. The complex is literally located in the middle of the forest and the only way one can get there is by taking a long dirt road. I loved going there when I was little...that's also where I met Kasia. We grew up together, spent all of our summers attached at the hip and made amazing childhood memories together.

So 4,659 miles later we connected in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. What an incredibly small world! The possibility of us running into each other in Warsaw was so slim, let alone all the way across the world in the Midwest. Kasia and I have remained friends for all those years and I am beyond lucky to have her and her family so close to ours. To many more memories, and to truly remarkable encounters!
