Summary/Abstract: The article makes an attempt to comprehend the essence of travel and its representation in the life and works of Mariusz Wilk. The main focus is the reflection on the type of travel in the individual existence of the author of ‘Dom włóczęgi’ and the recognition of Wilk’s writing preferences in the light of selected topics about the types of travelling which have been described on the pages of the northern diaries. Furthermore, I present inspirations of the writers of the travelling literature, i.e. Kenneth White’s works and other literature which describes travelling. In the light of the above consideration, I try to define the essence of Mariusz Wilk’s choice of the places he has chosen to travel across, the individual character of travelling and I am looking for an answer to the question if the writer is in favour of tourism or rambling.
