Krakow, Solo travel
solo trip to krakow.. such a beautiful city.. i spent a lot of time in the jewish quarter – loved the street art, the little cafés and the whole atmosphere.. the food was amazing too.. it was winter, so a bit cold, but honestly the city still felt warm in its own way.. would totally go again

Warsaw is one of the calmest capital i have ever been. Felt so safe. It’s not that much expensive as well. People are friendly and public transportation is also cheap as compared to other European countries.

My third time in Zakopane - this time with my mom and more for mountains, less for rest. My legs were dead after 6 hours in Hala Gąsienicowa and even more after Dolina Kościeliska. Weather was amazing, lots of people but still comfortable. Food soooo good! I mostly tried polish foods - żurek in bread recommended! My mom loved pierogi (without an s!) If you're looking for hotel there, I can send you a link for Booking.com as I don't remember the name now. We had amazing view for Giewont, balcony and peace for a really low price (Almost nothing!)

I’d say I felt mostly safe because I stayed at a female only hostel. But i also enjoyed the nightlife and everyone was very respectful even though i was sadly dangerously intoxicated:( (was having a bad day)

It was quite safe. I stayed in a hostel where they had mixed rooms- but during most of the stay they only had women in that room. I ventured into the mountains alone. Not sure about the people knowing english there - I used broken polish to communicate because I had the feeling no one would understand english. Keep in mind that big stores are closed on sundays so buy your food early!!

Loved it, never experienced any issues walking at night near the city centre or any of the outer areas. I looked at a man weird and he apologised for creeping me out and crossed the street. Looking forward to returning

About me
Hiii! I'm extremely bad when it comes to the "about me" section 😄 Recently I've been trying to motivate myself to travel and meet new people. I find it a little bit difficult. For almost 2 years I've been working in a TV corporation and I feel my life sparkle is disappearing. That's why I'm pushing to refind excitement in my life. I would love to meet some amazing people here, exchange experiences or just have a good time

About me
Hi! My name is Magdalena, I'm a 19 years old psychology student living in Poznan, Poland 🇵🇱 (a 500k city in the western part of the country). I love travelling across the world, discovering new places and learning about different cultures, preferably while meeting great people and making memories that will stay with me for a long time😊 I'm usually a very active type of traveller - I'm always down for walking tours and sports activities, but also visiting art galleries/ museums to learn about the history of the place that I'm visiting.🎨 I'm more than happy to give advice for anyone who would like to travel to Poland, since I've been in almost every major city, so feel free to ask for anything! ❣ I'm not always available for hosting, but I'm happy to share some space and spend some time together if you ask in advance.

About me
I’m an old soul with an open heart for new adventures — always down for harmless chaos, laughter and new experiences. A travel enthusiast who believes that every corner of the world hides magic waiting to be discovered. I love learning about cultures, people and the stories behind every place. Give me five minutes and I’ll probably check your birth chart or destiny matrix — I might not understand everything, but it genuinely makes me happy. Still, I don’t judge people by their zodiac sign and I definitely won’t stop talking to you just because we’re “supposed” to be incompatible haha In Poland we say someone is good both for dancing and for prayer — and I feel like I can talk about serious things just as easily as I can laugh about the silly ones. Always smiling, curious about life, ready to meet people and places that will enrich my soul, leave a mark on my heart and turn into beautiful memories.
