She worked with Swedish Television, for Emilio Pucci in his fashion house in Florence, wrote for interior design magazines and traveled in Europe, India and Africa.This book is about Ecuador where she spent half a year in all. She thought first that it was about nature, nice vegetables and fruit but Krystyna discovered that this little country has everything, mountains, Amazonia, and tropical beaches but not only. Ecuador witnesses about human history and old cultures that developed there long time before the Incas and before Columbus arrived in South America."We are not (nor shall we be viewed) as a handful of locations representing a clutch of places to be seen 'before you die'. That's for the tourist of the past. We are all travelers, explorers, adventurers with a new thirst for discovering the soul of each and every destination in the places we choose to spend time ..."ÑAN magazine
