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.

It really depends if you blend in with the crowd, it will be okay, don't offend anyone, Poles understand a lot I don't know what else to write, watch out for homeless people on trams and in general v

Wroclaw

I feel completely comfortable walking around in the day time, people keep to themselves. I've gotten lost walking around in alleys and backstreets and there isn't a time I have felt uncomfortable walking around.

Krakow

You can freely walk around the city during nighttime and nobody would care. After the parties I can go home easily and I don’t even live in the city center so it takes time for me to go home. And even if I’m alone outside at night I’ve never had trouble with it.

Czestochowa

This small, tranquil town boasts a city centre conveniently close to everything. The transport system is easy and I feel safe walking alone at night. It’s predominantly a Catholic community with Jasna Gora being the most famous site.

About me

Hi!🧚🏼‍♀️ My name is Христина, but a lot of my friends call me Marmona (a long story), so you can call me that too! My parents decided that travelling with a baby is cool, so technically I’ve already been to hella lot of places. But my memory is not that good, so now i want to explore those places in my conscious mind 🥲 I love people and communication, but im afraid that I didn’t describe myself enough, so text me, maybe we will become good friends 🥹. As a Ukrainian, I never come empty handed, so if you will host me, be prepared for some presents 😌 Next destination is Italy 🇮🇹! Looking for accommodation in Rome 17.08-21.08(?) and in Naples 23.08-28.08 🥹❤️‍🔥 Currently I live in krakow, for studying, would love to host some people and can be helpful with information). And if u want to visit Ukraine, that’s also possible, my family lives there and my room is free, so text 🥰!
