Globe in the Hat

WHO AM I ?

Photographer, Traveller & Blogger

Hi, I’m Ania Tomczak – a video journalist. I graduated from journalism and social communication (bachelor’s degree) in Poland and a tri-national master’s degree in Poland, France and Germany. After studying in Europe, I moved to Indonesia, where I was a lecturer in the communications department at a university in East Java. During my stay in the country, I took part in various projects and initiatives – mainly at universities and schools. In addition, I participated in many videos and wrote the script for one short film, among other things. Over the past few years I have lived mainly in Malang, Bali and Jakarta. I studied Indonesian language at two universities in Malang and Surabaya. I also took a year-long online class with a private tutor. Knowing the Indonesian language has helped me better understand the people and culture of the country. My passion for making videos and communicating with others led me to create the “Globe in the Hat” travel project, which I started while living in France in 2016, and then continued mainly in Indonesia since 2017. In my films I mainly focus on local life, culture, traditions and cultural differences, presenting them in a humorous way. I simply like to show the behind-the-scenes of life in a country, things that are not visible at first glance. I am recording, editing and translating everything myself 🙂
