Group travel experience

Poznan is a very small, yet very peaceful and beautiful city to visit, if you visit Poland. It is not so touristy, however packed with many amazing things to see. I visited this town with my two friends (both woman) and we felt safer than anywhere else even in the middle of the night. The people are very friendly here, and the prices are low.

I feel very safe when I'm walking alone at night even if 3 am 4 pm and there is no one around. When I'm using public transportation I don't have to worry about anything. It's not crowded or noisy. Poznan is a beautiful and safe city.

About me

Hi, there! Here is Natalia, Polish teacher who has never been anywhere but in my 30s I decided to change it. At these time I'm collecting information about traveling solo or with a friend of mine, upgrading my language and gaining money, of course. Meanwhile, I would like to let other female travellers help with accomodation. I have one room flat, but if you don't mind to share a room with me I can let you use it as a starting point to see a wonderful Poznań. I would love to spend some time with you, be your guide and talk about our culture.
