When I first started travelling, the only thing I really cared about was getting from A to B and back again for less. That typically meant picking a random destination I hadn’t been to yet, hitting up Skyscanner for the cheapest deal on that route, and flying at any hour to save €50 that I inevitably spent at the airport anyway because of course I didn’t have lounge access.

Picture this. Stories told during the summer silly season and illustrations for a fictional newspaper describing dogs’ extraordinary encounters with aliens. A plague of dogs arguing in the Japanese Garden and a hint of surrealism hanging over a city on a sweltering summer’s day. “Holiday Courier” by Michał Prażmo is a series of works inspired by summer, with the Polish coal capital Silesia as a backdrop.
