The article considers Maria Kuncewiczowa’s biography from the perspective of her numerous journeys. The journeys were of different dimension and character: the earliest were holiday trips with parents, later ones had educational purposes, she made reporter-literary voyages, peregrinations of an émigré’s and an exile’s, and ultimately life spent on journeys through and between the USA and Poland, and after also Italy. The journeys satisfied the woman writer’s essential internal needs: her desire of being in a different place, curiosity about the world, dream of being a world citizen. In Kuncewiczowa’s books (mainly in “Fantomy” <”Phantoms”>, in “Natura” <”Nature”> and in “Przeźrocza” <”Slides”>) a recurrent motif of journey evidences that it was an element of strengthening her phantom identity separating her from the real world, blurring the contours of reality and indirectly allowing to reconcile with death. At the same time the journeys made Kuncewiczowa uneasy both about the need of travelling and that of getting settled.
