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.

Wroclaw

I think Wrocław is one of the safest cities in Poland. It has good public transportation, so you don't need to take taxis or Ubers, and people are very nice. If you don't provoke anyone, there shouldn't be any problems.

Wroclaw

You can see a few drunk people but they are harmless and you can’t have any more safety problems than that. Overall you have night buses and the city is still alive at night too. The night buses full of people.

About me

Hey sweetie, I'm Wiktoria and I’m just here to find accommodation for me and a friend in three countries in July. 🫶🏻 I won a DiscoverEU ticket to travel around Europe, so I'm looking for someone I trust who can easily accommodate two people. 🫶🏻 We're planning a seven-day trip to Switzerland, specifically to the city of Lauterbrunnen. Then we'd like to visit Paris, and after another seven days, we'll head to Spain (Barcelona), and then to our native Poland. I'm 19, my friend Emilia is 18. We think that communicating with English won't be a problem, although it's been challenging, but at least it was fun. 😅 We graduated from high school with a police profile and want to study in this field for the future. We're easygoing and we're happy to try communicating in English, because after all, we're here to keep learning the language, as it can be really useful. We can be a bit of a pushover, but in a good way. We don't break anything, we don't touch things without someone's full consent, and we're very helpful. Pst.. The photos show me and my friend Emilia, Emilia was crazy 😆 Have a nice day, dear! 🥰

About me

Hii!! I am Amelia (but I go by Keira). I am 18 years old. I am a dreamer with a backpack, a heart full of compassion, and a passport that's never dusty for long. I am currently doing my senior class at JDJ IOS American High School Online. I believe travel is less about ticking off destinations and more about building bridges - especially between hearts and ideas. I love volunteering abroad and have a deep passion for projects that make a difference. Whether it's helping animals, working with children, or participating in Erasmus+ exchanges, I seek out meaningful experiences that connect purpose with exploration. You will usually find me: - horse riding at golden hour - ice skating on ice rink - journaling in a park - taking care of kids - volunteering - or on another Erasmus+ youth exchange I adore deep conversations, spontaneous gateaways, souful music, and laughing until it hurts. I love slow travel, where I can feel the rhythm of a place and meet incredible women who inspire me - just like you. I’m looking to connect with fellow travel ladies for cultural exchanges, weekend escapes, shared volunteering projects, or just a coffee in a new city. I believe the best friendships are made under starry skies, on long train rides, or while getting lost in a new town together. Let's connect, if you are: 🌸 A solo traveler or expat 🧭 A purpose-driven adventurer 🎭 Someone who loves storytelling, activism or journaling 🏕 Into mindfulness, nature, or simply daydreaming by the sea 🐴 An animal lover (bonus if you want to help me build a rehab clinic for traumatized rescue animals someday!)
