Katowice, Solo travel

Overall, it was a very nice experience. I arrived very early in the morning, so it was still dark, but the city felt safe and calm. The streets were quiet and peaceful. I walked around until midday and people were kind, relaxed, and helpful. One person even stopped to chat with me, which made the experience feel very welcoming.

Poznan

Poznań is a very safe city. U can walk at night in every street without feeling unsafe. Especially Stare Miasto, Jeżyce and Łazarz. U can go at night from the main station (Łazarz) to Stare Miasto (Main City) without hesitation. Main roads can be lighter because of lamps so it's better to be there at night. At daylight u can travel through Poznań even in small streets. Have a nice trip!

Gdansk

Better to walk in popular areas at night, I hate Orunia and zakoniczyn, overall during the day it's fine. U should be safe with company. The safest areas that I know personally are Wrzeszcz and city centre

About me

Im Ada. I like authentic people and energy, i learn to stay alike too. I love nature, animals, joy, being spiritual, visiting new places and doing new activities. I am a kind person full of life and emotions. I like vulnerable beautiful things full of art and goodness as much as extremal, full of adrenaline- like cars, hiking, sports. Sometimes I’m shy and sometimes sassy and extrovert. I can hold secrets but prefer to choose truth. I can talk on heavy topics and care of relations. I am a grateful person. I can say „no” for making a space for „yes”
